About the piece

Painted during his time in Paris in 1887, Vincent van Gogh’s 'Basket of Crocus Bulbs' explores the simple, earthy beauty of seasonal transition. The composition features a textured, low-profile basket brimming with dark earth and a dense cluster of emerging sprouts, rendered with the artist's characteristic expressive brushwork and a sophisticated palette of ochre, sage, and deep umber.
