Still life with a basket of vegetables 1885

"Still Life with a Basket of Vegetables," painted in 1885, is a classic example of Vincent van Gogh's early still life work. While still developing his signature style, the painting features a muted palette and thick brushstrokes, highlighting the earthy forms of carrots, onions, and other root vegetables in a simple, yet expressive composition. Van Gogh often used natural subjects to explore light and shadow, which he would later master in his vibrant landscape paintings.
