Olive Trees 1888

"Olive Trees" is a pen and ink drawing created by Vincent van Gogh in 1888, currently housed at the Musée des Beaux-Arts Tournai in Belgium. The work is a characteristic example of van Gogh's expressive style, utilizing bold, swirling lines to depict the gnarled forms of the olive trees against a light background. This drawing, with its emphasis on organic forms and the interplay of light and shadow, reflects van Gogh's fascination with the natural world and his desire to capture its essence.
