What you are looking at
Peasant Woman Cooking by a Fireplace holds one person under steady attention. Vincent van Gogh is not flattering the sitter so much as registering them — the face is modelled with small, honest decisions rather than ideal features.
Peasant Woman Cooking by a Fireplace. In our studio the thing that matters is how Vincent van Gogh actually works: Van Gogh lays the paint in directional strokes that follow the form, so the brushmarks are the drawing — nothing here is blended smooth.
Why this one has to be painted by hand
Portraits are where a print fails hardest, because skin is made of a dozen small colour shifts. A painter puts those back in the shadow side, where a press just lays down grey.

This one reads well in a study or library. Because the painter works freehand on a blank canvas we keep the proportions of the original rather than cropping to fit, so an unusually wide or tall composition stays honest at any size.
Questions people ask before ordering
What size should I order for Peasant Woman Cooking by a Fireplace?
Most collectors take a portrait between 20 x 16 in and 30 x 24 in — big enough for the face to carry, small enough to stay intimate. If your wall needs something else, say so and we quote it.
Is Peasant Woman Cooking by a Fireplace in the public domain?
Vincent van Gogh died in 1890, which puts this work in the public domain — commissioning a hand-painted reproduction is legal, and owning one is legal anywhere in the world. We never pass ours off as the original and never issue certificates of authenticity.
How long does a hand-painted version take?
Roughly two to four weeks of studio time depending mostly on size and how much impasto the surface carries, then several more days for the oil to set before we can photograph and pack it. We send photographs of your actual painting for approval before anything ships.
How close will it be to the original?
It is painted by hand from the same image you are looking at, so it is a painting of the painting, not a scan. Expect the composition, colour and drawing to follow the original closely, and expect the brushwork to be our painter's own — that is the point of commissioning one. You approve photographs before it ships.
