About the piece
Painted during Van Gogh's time in Antwerp in late 1885, this work captures the view from his studio window. The muted palette of grays and earthy tones reflects the artist's fascination with the somber light of northern European winters, executed with his characteristically thick, expressive brushwork that gives the architecture a tangible presence.
