A young woman is shown in Vincent van Gogh's painting "Girl in White", standing in front of a green wheat field while donning a substantial yellow hat with a knot of sky-blue ribbons. In the latter months of his life, Vincent van Gogh painted this scene in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, in 1890. The woman occupies most of the image space, appearing closer to the viewer because of how Van Gogh has exploited the picture's stretched plane to dramatic effect.
