Pollard Willow 1882

"Pollard Willow" is a watercolor painting created by Vincent van Gogh in 1882. The painting depicts a winding path through a rural landscape, with a lone figure walking towards a windmill in the distance. A prominent pollarded willow tree, a tree that has been pruned to encourage new growth, stands in the foreground, providing a sense of solitude and melancholic beauty. The painting's muted palette and expressive brushstrokes are characteristic of van Gogh's early work.
