The Road to Tarascon 1888

"The Road to Tarascon" (1888), a pen and ink drawing by Vincent van Gogh, depicts a lone figure walking along a tree-lined road. The drawing, which is currently housed in the Kunsthaus Zürich, is notable for its expressive use of line, emphasizing the strong verticals of the trees and the rhythmic movement of the figure. Van Gogh's signature style is evident in the swirling, hatching lines that create a sense of depth and texture. The drawing's composition, with its emphasis on perspective and receding lines, is reminiscent of the artist's exploration of natural landscapes.
