Orchard and House with Orange Roof 1888

"Orchard and House with Orange Roof" is a simple ink sketch by Vincent van Gogh created in 1888. This is a quick drawing done on a piece of paper with other sketches and handwritten notes. The piece shows the characteristic bold lines and expressive brushstrokes of van Gogh's work. The sketch depicts an orchard with a house in the background. The composition is simple, with the house sitting behind the trees. The trees are stylized in a way that highlights the thick brushstrokes van Gogh is known for. The house is detailed with an orange roof, providing a subtle pop of color to the otherwise monotone piece. The drawing is housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
