Sketches of Peasant Plowing with Horses 1890

This sketch by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1890, depicts a scene of peasant farmers plowing with horses. The drawing is characterized by its loose, expressive lines and the artist's signature use of dark, swirling strokes. It is a study for a larger, more elaborate work that would have been a painting. This work, like many of van Gogh's sketches, demonstrates his fascination with the lives of ordinary people and the natural world. "Sketches of Peasant Plowing with Horses" exemplifies the artist's working process and reveals his keen observation of rural life.
