Vincent van Gogh’s *Wheat Field with Setting Sun* is a pen and ink drawing from 1888, depicting a field of wheat at sunset. The drawing uses dynamic, expressive brushstrokes to convey the movement of the wind in the field and the setting sun. The composition is divided into two sections, with a foreground of wheat and a background of a distant city skyline with a setting sun. The use of black ink and white paper allows for the contrast between light and dark, emphasizing the dramatic effect of the setting sun. This artwork is a powerful representation of the beauty and grandeur of nature, captured through van Gogh's distinctive artistic style.
