About the piece

Painted in 1887 during his time in Paris, this work by Vincent van Gogh explores the humble beauty of everyday objects through a rich, earthy palette. The heavy impasto and confident brushwork characteristic of his style lend a tactile presence to the arrangement of smoked buckling and garlic, creating a sense of rustic warmth.
