Van Gogh produced this piece on paper, employing simple ink techniques to explore the human form. The portrait reflects his focus on Realism, capturing the character and emotion of his subject with careful detail. During this time, Van Gogh lived in various places, including Etten and The Hague, where he studied with Anton Mauve; these experiences significantly influenced his developing style.
