À propos de l’œuvre
Tête de paysanne au bonnet blanc, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · March 1885 · Nuenen, Netherlands
F80 peasant head at Kunsthaus ZürichReproduction of oil painting on canvas
This sheet shows Peasant's Head with the White Cap F80 in its frame, as it was photographed at the museum. The real view allows you to appreciate the intimate scale of the original, the relationship between the dark canvas and its golden molding, as well as the vigor of the blue-white headdress.
Look at the work
The actual work, seen with its setting at the museum
The photograph renders the entire painting in the center of a richly sculpted frame. It immediately makes the small format of the original and the density of the face noticeable in an area of only 41 × 30.5 cm.
Inside the frame, the light cap first catches the eye, then the eyes pointing to the right and the black shawl. The surrounding gilding warms the ochres of the face without belonging to the painted composition.
The painting visible in this photograph is F80/JH681, inventoried BU 0052: an oil on canvas mounted on a 41 × 30.5 cm panel, made in Nuenen in March 1885 and preserved in Zurich.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The situational view completes the isolated reproduction of the work: it documents the scale, the presence of the frame and the way in which the small portrait captures attention on a museum wall.
Frame reveals true scale
The sculpted surroundings show how compact the painted surface is. Van Gogh nevertheless concentrates a strong presence in this reduced format.
The headdress remains the luminous point
Even within the gilding, the blue-green whites of the cap form the coldest area and lead directly to the face.
The shawl builds a dark base
The black mass under the neck clearly separates the figure from its frame and brings the gaze back to the expression of the peasant woman.

A real view of the framed work
The image shows the painting in its museum presentation and not a decorative simulation, which allows you to judge its scale.
41 × 30.5 cm
The dimension concerns only the painted surface; the frame visible in the photograph adds a monumental presence to the small portrait.

Your reproduction
What the painter must preserve
For your reproduction, the painter only uses Van Gogh's composition: the photographed frame is used to understand the scale and is not included in the painted surface.

Understand the scale before choosing its format
