　　During his stay in Antwerp, Van Gogh searched for models to sit for portraits. He was hoping to profile himself as a modern painter of contemporary city life. He was particularly interested in working-class people, one of whom was the woman portrayed here. Perhaps she worked in a café and, like many impoverished women, was forced to earn extra money as a prostitute at night.

　　在安特卫普期间，梵高寻找模特来写生。他希望将自己塑造成当代城市生活的现代画家。他特别对工人阶级的人们感兴趣，其中一个就是这里所描绘的女性。也许她在咖啡馆工作，在夜晚像许多贫困的妇女一样被迫以卖淫来赚取额外的钱。

　　While her face evinces the traces of hard work, Van Gogh also wanted to convey her beauty. In these ‘studies of heads’ the artist was not interested in depicting an individual likeness, but rather a type. He painted the woman's face and long, loose hair with broad brushstrokes, thereby successfully introducing volume and life into them. He probably depicted the same woman in another painting as well.

　　尽管她的脸上透露出辛苦劳作的痕迹，梵高也想传达她的美。在这些“头像习作”中，艺术家并不关心描绘一个具体的相似之处，而是一种类型。他用宽大的笔触描绘了女性的脸和长发，成功地赋予了它们体积和生命力。他可能在另一幅画中也描绘了同一个女性。
