Vincent van Gogh – Woman in Dark Dress – 1928 Portfolio Print from Dutch Period

About the Item

Title: Vincent van Gogh – Woman in a Dark Dress (Sien’s Mother) – 1928 Portfolio Print from the Hollandse Periode Description: This fine 1928 print is a reproduction of Vincent van Gogh’s 1882 drawing 'Woman in a Dark Dress (Sien’s Mother)', originally created in The Hague. Published as part of the portfolio 'Vincent van Gogh: Vier-en-twintig Teekeningen uit zijn 'Hollandsche Periode'' (Twenty-Four Drawings from His 'Dutch Period'), this work was issued by Van Munster’s Uitgevers-Maatschappij in Amsterdam. The portfolio was based on the collection of Hidde Nijland and aimed to present Van Gogh’s early Dutch period, emphasizing his mastery of form and emotion in black-and-white drawings. This particular artwork is a poignant study of an elderly woman seated in quiet contemplation. Van Gogh’s meticulous use of ink, sepia, and pencil captures the rich textures of her heavy dress, conveying both its weight and the quiet dignity of the subject. Her expression is solemn and reflective, highlighting Van Gogh’s deep empathy for working-class individuals. The artist’s skilled hatching and cross-hatching techniques enhance the depth and realism of the composition, while the lightly sketched background ensures that focus remains on the figure. Van Gogh’s work during this period was heavily influenced by 19th-century Realist artists such as Jean-François Millet. His stark yet tender portrayal of ordinary people remained central to his artistic vision, even as his style evolved into the vibrant, expressive brushwork of his later years. This print is not only a striking piece of Van Gogh’s early realism but also an important historical document from the 1928 publication of his Dutch-period drawings. Condition Summary: The print is in good condition with some age-related wear to the edges. Matting and Framing Tips: For optimal presentation, consider using a neutral-toned mat to enhance the contrast of the ink work. A classic black or dark wood frame will complement the print, offering a museum-quality display while preserving its delicate details. Conservation glass is recommended to protect against UV damage and maintain the integrity of the piece.
