Postcard with Two Peasants Digging 1885

This pen and ink drawing, created by Vincent van Gogh in 1885, captures the daily life of peasants in a rural setting. The simple lines and loose strokes convey a sense of movement and energy as two figures bend over in their work. The drawing is a small and intimate piece, measuring 9.1 x 13.8 cm, and provides a glimpse into Van Gogh's early artistic style, which often focused on depicting the lives of ordinary people. Van Gogh's signature appears at the bottom of the postcard, marking a personal connection to the scene he depicts.
