About the piece

Created in 1885 during Van Gogh's period in Nuenen, this still life composition elevates simple, everyday objects with profound gravitas. The thick impasto and deep palette of browns and ochres reflect his early fascination with peasant life and the somber beauty of the Dutch countryside.
