About the piece

Painted in 1887 during his influential Paris period, this oil study by Vincent van Gogh captures the quiet dignity of a simple terra cotta flowerpot. The work showcases his developing Post-Impressionist style through energetic, vertical brushstrokes and a luminous, earthy palette that highlights the interplay between the vibrant green chives and the textured background.
