"Head of a Peasant Woman with White Cap" is one of Vincent van Gogh's early Portrait paintings created around 1881-1882, during his initial years as an artist. Crafted with Oil on Canvas, it showcases his focus on Realism by depicting a peasant woman with expressive features and a simple white white cap. This work reflects Van Gogh's study of rural life and ordinary people during his time in Etten. His early Portraits like this reveal his growing interest in capturing honest, unembellished human expressions on his canvas.
