"Head of a Girl" (1888) by Vincent van Gogh is a striking example of his work during his prolific period in Arles, France. This piece, likely executed with chalk on paper, captures the sensitive expression of a young girl through bold, expressive lines characteristic of van Gogh’s evolving style. As a sketch and study, it reflects his dedication to exploring human emotion and form. Van Gogh’s approach here anticipates the vivid colors and dynamic brushwork that would define the Post-impressionism movement, blending raw emotion with technical skill.
