Head of a Woman

Vincent van Gogh's portrait titled Head of a Woman exemplifies his expressive style and mastery of Realism. Likely created on paper, this portrait captures the subject’s features with bold, visible brushstrokes and vibrant colors, conveying deep emotion. Van Gogh’s self-portraits often depicted himself in a mirror, but in this piece, the focus on the woman's head suggests an exploration of human expression and individuality. The use of ink techniques within the artwork enhances the contrast and texture, making it a compelling example of his innovative approach to portraiture.
