About the piece

Painted in 1887 during Van Gogh’s Paris period, this still life showcases his evolving technique through energetic, directional brushwork. The composition contrasts the dense, rounded forms of red cabbages with the delicate, papery skins of garlic bulbs against a flickering blue and yellow background, demonstrating his masterful control of color and texture.
