The artwork titled “Plaster Statuette of a Female Torso” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1886 in Paris, France. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece is a representative of the Post-Impressionism art movement and can be categorized as a still life genre. Currently, it resides in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a plaster statuette of a female torso. The statue is portrayed in a frontal view, highlighting the natural curves and contours of the female form. Rendered with Van Gogh’s characteristic brushwork and attention to texture, the artwork demonstrates a subtle interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the three-dimensional form of the statuette. The background is a muted blend of earthy tones that serve to accentuate the statue’s presence, inviting viewers to focus on its sculptural beauty.
