The "Head of an Old Peasant Woman with White Cap" is one of Vincent van Gogh's early portrait studies created during his formative years in 1881-1882. Executed with Oil on canvas, this work reflects Van Gogh's interest in Realism, capturing the subject's weathered features and white cap with expressive detail. During this period, Vincent focused on portraying everyday people and rural life, influenced by his time living in small towns like Etten and The Hague, where he studied with artists such as Anton Mauve. These early works laid the groundwork for his later innovative approach to portraiture.
