GOGH, Vincent van: Portrait of a Woman, Half-Length

🖼 Portrait of a Woman, Half-Length, December-January 1882-83, The Hague
Lead pencil and ink washing
394 × 254 cm

Soft brushwork and muted greens define this half-length portrait, capturing a woman's contemplative gaze with psychological intensity. Van Gogh's characteristic emotional directness transforms a simple bust-length composition into an intimate study of inner life and vulnerability.
