About the piece

Painted during his stay in the Drenthe region in 1883, this early work by Vincent van Gogh showcases his deep empathy for the laboring class. The composition features two silhouetted figures working the peat moor, set against a sliver of pale horizon and a turbulent, expressive sky. The dark palette and thick brushwork exemplify the moody, earthy style of his early Dutch period.
