The Magrot House, Cuesmes c. 1879 - 1880

"The Magrot House, Cuesmes" is a pencil drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created around 1879-1880. The artwork depicts a simple, single-story house with a thatched roof, accented by three chimneys. Van Gogh's signature hatching style is visible in the rendering of the building, with the use of short, parallel lines to create the illusion of texture and form. The minimal detail and emphasis on the structure's form contribute to a sense of quietness and realism typical of Van Gogh's early work.
