"Peasant Woman, Head" is a compelling piece from Vincent van Gogh’s Peasant Character Studies series created between 1881 and 1885. This work exemplifies van Gogh's approach as a Realism artist, capturing the raw dignity of rural life. Often developed as a Sketch and study, his preliminary paper drawings used chalk and ink to explore form and expression.
