*** About "Peasant Woman Sitting on a Chair"

*** : Created in Nuenen during the winter months of 1884 to 1885, this canvas resonates with Van Gogh's exploration of peasant life, intrinsic to his work during this period. Deviating from ornate art styles, Van Gogh adopted a more austere and realistic approach, which came to define his early artistic period. The subject, part of his study on peasant characters, reflects his fascination with capturing the essence of working-class nobility. Through somber colors and expressive brushwork, he communicates a deeper understanding of his subjects' lives, imbuing his work with emotional gravity. This painting not only mirrors Van Gogh’s empathy towards the less fortunate but also underscores his mastery in depicting human emotion through art. Currently, the artwork is housed at an undisclosed location, cherished for its poignant depiction of human endurance and pastoral grace.
