梵高油画头像《老年妇女头像》

作品简介 / INTRODUCTION

　　The old woman's grey hair sticks out from under her white cap. Van Gogh liked bonnets like this, which made a fine contrast with dark clothing and backgrounds. Using rough brushstrokes, Van Gogh suggested the shadows in her face.

　　这位老妇人的灰色头发从她的白色帽子下露出来。梵高喜欢这样的帽子，它与深色的衣服和背景形成了鲜明的对比。梵高用粗糙的笔触描绘了她脸上的阴影。

　　In Antwerp (BE), Van Gogh wanted to master portrait painting. He heard from local art dealers that women's heads sold better than men's. From that time on, he focused on female models.

　　在安特卫普，梵高想要掌握肖像画。他听当地的艺术品经销商说，女人的肖像画比男人的肖像画好卖。从那时候起，他就专注于女性肖像画的写生。
