Three People Sharing a Meal 1885

"Three People Sharing a Meal" is a charcoal drawing by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1885. The drawing depicts three figures, likely peasants, seated at a table, their backs to the viewer, as they share a meal. The composition is simple and direct, with the figures filling the space, and Van Gogh's signature expressive lines are evident in the depiction of the figures' clothing and the surrounding room. The drawing's loose, gestural style reflects Van Gogh's artistic evolution and is considered an early example of his signature style. This piece is held in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
