A moody, forest interior depicting a solitary female figure in dark clothing and a white bonnet standing amid monumental beech tree trunks, their gnarled roots spreading across a rust-brown forest floor. Painted during Van Gogh's early Hague period, the work demonstrates his raw, energetic brushwork and fascination with nature and solitude before his mature Post-Impressionist style developed. The earthy palette of greens, browns, and ochres creates a deeply atmospheric and intimate woodland scene. This is a rare and significant early Van Gogh oil offered at Christie's with an estimate of HKD 10,000,000–20,000,000.
