Lumber Sale 1883

"Lumber Sale" (1883) by Vincent van Gogh depicts a bustling scene of a lumber sale, with people gathered around a building in a rural setting. The composition is dominated by a crowd of figures, their forms rendered with bold strokes and a sense of dynamism. The stacked lumber, logs on the ground, and the building create a sense of depth and space. Van Gogh's signature style is evident in the thick brushstrokes and the use of vibrant color, bringing a sense of energy and life to the scene. The artwork is housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and provides a glimpse into the artist's early interest in portraying everyday life.
