About the piece

Painted in 1885 during his Nuenen period, this work reflects Vincent van Gogh's early fascination with the humble, everyday objects of peasant life. The artist uses a somber, dark palette and thick brushwork to emphasize the tactile weight of the brass, ceramic, and soil-dusted potatoes, creating a composition of quiet, rustic dignity.
