About the piece
Painted in 1884 during his time in Nuenen, this work demonstrates Vincent van Gogh's early mastery of tone and texture. The composition centers on the iridescent seed pods of the honesty plant (judaspenning), whose light, circular forms contrast sharply with the brooding, atmospheric shadows and rich autumnal colors of the lower floral arrangement.
