Head of a Peasant Woman, 1874, Léon-Augustin Lhermitte, French, Mont-Saint-Père, Aisne 1844Paris 1925, 16 3/16 × 13 5/16 in. (41.1 × 33.8 cm), Charcoal and chalk on off-white paper, France, 19th century, Léon Augustin Lhermittes sympathetic, realistic portrayal of the people of rural France played well to Parisian audiences and even gained the admiration of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (18531890). This drawing reflects Lhermittes commitment to naturalism both in its acutely observed handling and its humble subject. The sitter, an aging woman with a simple veil and shawl, becomes, in Lhermittes hand, an image of strength and grace.
