Vincent van Gogh's 'The Novel Reader' (1888) captures a woman engrossed in her book. This Post-Impressionist portrait features bold colours and expressive brushwork, creating a sense of energy and intimacy.
Painted in 1888, Vincent van Gogh's 'The Novel Reader' is a portrait of a woman absorbed in her book. The painting is characterised by its bold colours and expressive brushwork, typical of Van Gogh's Post-Impressionist style. The subject, rendered in shades of green and yellow, sits against a background of vibrant yellow and green, with a suggestion of a bookshelf behind her. The figure's face is cast in shadow, drawing attention to the book in her hands, which is illuminated with a bright yellow hue. Van Gogh's use of colour is particularly striking in this work. The juxtaposition of the greens and yellows creates a sense of energy and movement, while the darker tones of the figure's dress provide a grounding element. The brushstrokes are visible and textured, adding to the overall sense of immediacy and emotion. 'The Novel Reader' is a study of contemplation and the quiet pleasure of reading. It captures a moment of intimacy and introspection, inviting the viewer to share in the subject's absorption in her book. The painting is currently held in a private collection.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
