Figures in a Park 1886

"Figures in a Park" is a pencil drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1886. This work is a study in capturing the energy and movement of everyday life in a park setting. The drawing features a group of figures, some under the shade of trees, others walking along a pathway. Van Gogh's characteristically expressive lines and shading bring dynamism to the scene, emphasizing the textures of the trees and the flow of the figures' garments. This piece, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, demonstrates the artist's early exploration of the expressive potential of line and shadow.
