About the piece

Painted in 1889 during his time in Saint-Rémy, this work by Vincent van Gogh captures the intimate details of a forest understory. The composition focuses on the rhythmic interplay of tree trunks and the carpet of ivy on the forest floor, rendered in a moody palette of deep greens and earthy browns using the artist's signature textured impasto technique.
