Head of an Old Farmer's Wife in a White Hat (Dutch: Kop van een oude boerin met een witte muts) is an 1884 oil painting by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh.
Background
Head of an Old Farmer's Wife in a White Hat was painted by Vincent van Gogh around 1884 while he was living with his parents in the town of Nuenen, about a year before he finished The Potato Eaters.[1] The painting is 63 × 48 centimeters.[2][3]
According to the Kröller-Müller Museum, the painting depicts Gordina de Groot, a local farmer from Nuenen. She also appears in The Potato Eaters, and about 20 other of Van Gogh's paintings.[4]
Ownership history
The painting was previously displayed in the Kröller-Müller Museum before its March 2024 sale.[5]
In March 2024, the painting was auctioned for an undisclosed sum over 4.5 million euros at The European Fine Art Fair in the Netherlands.[1][6] The painting's seller, president of the M.S. Rau Gallery Bill Rau, said the painting was sold to a private museum "outside the European Union" and "it will be accessible to the public."[7]
