Toward the end of his life, Vincent Van Gogh began to explore portraiture. Before he was ready to have friends and family sit for him, his subjects were anonymous like the portrait ''Head of a Girl''. He sent this portrait, as well as the one depicted in The Zouave, in a letter to his friend the Australian painter John Peter Russell. Van Gogh was interested in creating character studies of real, not idealized people, emulating Honoré Daumie and the great Dutch masters. In this portrait he demonstrates this "in his imaginative embellishment of the street child's clothes and unruly hair". In his letters van Gogh also discloses his disdain for such individuals by calling the girl a "dirty mudlark". This painting is part of the Thannhauser Collection at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.〔From van Gogh to Picasso, from Kandinsky to Pollock: masterpieces of modern art: Solomon R.
