À propos de l’œuvre
Portrait d'une femme, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · Winter 1886 -1887 · Paris
Portrait of a woman, F357Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A woman with raised black hair looks at the viewer, dressed in a green bodice and dark bow; his ocher face stands out against a vigorously streaked red-brown background.
Look at the work
A frontal face in a range of lands
The head and shoulders fill almost the entire canvas. The bun forms a dark mass at the top, while the light eyes and collar concentrate the expression.
The background combines brown, red and black in vertical lines. The green clothing, the bluish shadows and the yellow highlights break this warm dominant.
Painted in Paris during the winter of 1886 -1887, this portrait is F357/JH1216. The oil on canvas measures 40 × 32 cm and is presented at the Kunstmuseum Basel on loan from the Rudolf Staechelin Foundation.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
Still close to the dark lands of the Dutch period, the painting already introduces more frank oppositions of green, red and yellow.
The fund remains voluntarily active
Brown and red features surround the face and prevent the background from becoming a neutral surface.
Green cools the range
The bodice and certain facial shadows balance the dominant ochres and reds.
Framing imposes presence
The space left around the hairstyle and shoulders is very small, bringing the model very close.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The identity of the model is not established with certainty; Madame Tanguy's hypothesis has sometimes been put forward, but the institutional title remains Portrait of a Woman.
An unidentified model
Caution requires retaining the generic title rather than assigning a name without proof.
