Vincent van Gogh's Portraits, including self-portraits, reveal his intense exploration of identity and emotion. "Head of a Woman" exemplifies his mastery in capturing mood through expressive brushwork and subtle color shifts. Van Gogh often used paper as his medium, employing chalk for preliminary sketches before applying oil paint. His self-portraits, typically depicting his face as seen in the mirror—mainly the right side—highlight his focus on realism and personal reflection. As with his other portraits, this work combines raw emotion with meticulous technique.
