About the piece

Painted in 1889 during his stay in Saint-Rémy, this work captures a Giant Peacock Moth with Van Gogh's characteristic energetic brushwork. The artist employs a rich palette of deep greens and earthy tones, contrasted by the striking oculi on the moth's wings and bright red berries, resulting in a composition that is both grounded and full of movement.
