All measured values are approximate.Outer frame size: 54.2 x 66 cm. All measured values are approximate. Signature: Vincent van Gogh Description: A richly colored rural landscape depicting a farmhouse, haystacks, cultivated fields, and a solitary figure beneath a luminous blue-green sky. The composition is animated by thick, directional brushwork and a vivid palette of golden yellow, ochre, emerald green, turquoise, orange, red, and deep blue. A pale pathway curves from the foreground toward a gated entrance in the middle distance, leading the eye toward clustered buildings with warm terracotta roofs and several prominent haystacks beyond. A lone figure carrying a tool crosses the field at left, introducing a sense of everyday agricultural activity within the expansive landscape. Dense passages of flowers and vegetation occupy the foreground, while the sky is constructed from vigorous swirling strokes that heighten the expressive energy of the scene. The lower right bears the signature ”Vincent.” The reverse shows an aged canvas mounted on a wooden stretcher with paper labels attached, and the work is presented in a substantial period-style wooden frame. The combination of brilliant complementary color, heavily worked surface, rural subject matter, and emphatic brushwork reflects the expressive landscape vocabulary closely associated with Van Gogh's mature period.
