About the piece

Painted in 1888 during Van Gogh's time in Arles, this work captures 'The Old Mill' with the artist's signature energetic brushstrokes and luminous palette. The composition balances the solid architecture of the mill with the fluid movement of the sky and the sweeping fields of the La Crau plain, exemplifying the master's late 19th-century style.
