A seated woman rests her chin on her hand beside two books

A woman with dark hair beneath a black bonnet sits at a green table, her head resting on one hand, elbow propped beside two closed books. She wears a dark blue-grey dress with a wide white fichu, set against a flat pink background. Her expression is composed and slightly melancholic, painted with confident black outlines and broad, unmodulated areas of colour.

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) painted for barely ten years and produced some 2,100 works, most of them in the last two. After early dark canvases of Dutch peasant life he moved to Paris in 1886, absorbed Impressionism and Japanese prints, and in Arles and Saint-Rémy arrived at the thick, directional brushwork and saturated colour that carry his sunflowers, cypresses and night skies. He sold almost nothing in his lifetime. His paintings are held by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Musée d'Orsay and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
