About the piece

Painted during Van Gogh's Dutch period in 1885, this still life showcases the artist's early fascination with the humble objects of daily life. The composition features a traditional Bartmannkrug (bearded-man jar) alongside a coffee mill and pipe, all rendered with the thick, expressive brushwork and deep, moody tones that defined his pre-Parisian style.
