About the piece

Painted in 1887 during Vincent van Gogh's formative years in Paris, this work illustrates his shift toward the lighter, more vibrant palette of the Impressionists. The composition elegantly balances an intimate tabletop still life with a translucent view of the street beyond the window, all rendered with his characteristic energetic and textured brushwork.
