A pensive woman rests her chin on her hand beside green books

A seated woman with dark hair parted in the centre rests her chin on one hand, elbow propped on a green tabletop beside a pair of pale green books. She wears a dark blue-green jacket over a pale green-white ruffled collar. Her expression is composed, eyes looking slightly to the side. The background is worked in short diagonal brushstrokes of pink and mauve. Faint lettering marks the spine of the upper book.

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.
