About the piece
Painted in 1882 during his time in The Hague, this oil study by Vincent van Gogh demonstrates his early commitment to depicting the dignity of the working class. The composition centers on the rhythmic movement of a digging peasant, rendered with the artist's characteristic impasto and a warm, tonalist palette that emphasizes a deep connection to the land.
