Woman Sewing

Woman Sewing" by Vincent van Gogh exemplifies his move away from strict Realism towards expressing emotion through vivid color and dynamic brushstrokes. Van Gogh, living during the Impressionist era, focused on conveying inner feelings rather than precise physical representation. Although some artists used various media like watercolor, paper, or charcoal for sketches, Van Gogh favored oil paints to capture the emotional depth of his subjects. His genre paintings often depict ordinary scenes, emphasizing the expressive qualities of color and brushwork to reveal his personal involvement.
