Seated Woman

"Seated Woman" by Vincent van Gogh exemplifies his Post-Impressionist approach, emphasizing emotional expression over mere imitation of physical form. Van Gogh's use of vigorous brushstrokes and vivid color highlights his focus on conveying the inner feelings of his subject. Rather than striving for Realism, he often sketched and studied his figures through sketches and studies on paper, frequently using pencil and ink to capture the essence of his models. This expressive technique underscores Van Gogh's personal connection to his subject, emphasizing feeling over precise representation.
