Garden of the Asylum and Tree Trunks and a Stone Bench 1889

This is a black and white ink drawing of a scene from the asylum gardens in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Vincent van Gogh was living during his stay in the asylum. The drawing features two tall trees, their trunks rendered in deep, expressive lines, suggesting a sense of solidity and presence. In the background, we can see the outline of a stone bench, a feature characteristic of garden settings, and a glimpse of the asylum's architecture. The simple but evocative lines of the drawing reflect van Gogh's unique style and his fascination with natural landscapes.
