From Morohashi Museum of Modern Art:
Around the years 1884-85, van Gogh created numerous works in which peasants served as models, reflecting the influence of Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875, a 19th-century French painter whose subjects included peasants and rural landscapes). This is one of his works from that period.
It depicts a peasant woman staring forward with a severe expression. One can sense her nervousness at serving as a model from the way her hands are clasped tightly together and the look on her face. The dark tones and grave surface of the painting convey the tough life of a peasant.
