"Head of a Woman" by Vincent van Gogh exemplifies his mastery in capturing human emotion through a portrait. Painted predominantly using pencil and paper, the work shows van Gogh’s keen focus on the subject’s facial features, emphasizing expressive brushwork over strict Realism. As with many of his self-portraits, the image reflects van Gogh’s use of the mirror, where his right side appears as his left. The piece’s raw and emotionally charged style is characteristic of his exploration of human identity, rendered with expressive strokes that evoke vulnerability and intensity.
