Vincent van Gogh, Head of a Peasant Woman, 1885, National Galleries Scotland @NatGallerieScoThe sitter is Gordina de Groot who was the model for a figure in Van Gogh’s first major work The Potato Eaters. It is one of a series of studies which were intended as illustrations of peasant types, rather than portraits of individuals. The woman’s cap is painted in broken colors and only appears white against the darker tones of her face and blouse. **Gallery Label -- source link
