Enclosed Field with Ploughman 1889

"Enclosed Field with Ploughman," created by Vincent van Gogh in 1889, showcases the artist's signature use of expressive brushstrokes. The drawing, housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, depicts a simple rural scene, capturing the toil of a farmer working the land. Van Gogh's characteristic style is evident in the swirling lines and vigorous hatching that convey the texture of the plowed field. The composition, focused on the figure of the ploughman, highlights the cyclical nature of rural life and the human connection to the land. This artwork is a testament to Van Gogh's fascination with nature and his ability to translate his emotions onto canvas.
