Extrait du document
This work of a country-woman sewing, painted in watercolour and heightened by white, was painted by Van Gogh partly while she was posing and partly from drawings. It shows how his understanding of the values of texture and tone produced a scene that is full of depth and interest while remaining simple. The marks are fine and produce a rich but muted colour scheme rather in the tradition of Rembrandt and his followers. Van Gogh's ability to balance tonal values so effectively is evident in this portrayal of atmosphere and image, and is evidence of his progress as an artist.
