The artwork titled “Barred Windows,” created by Vincent van Gogh in 1889, is a work within the Post-Impressionism movement, and it belongs to the sketch and study genre.
The artwork is a monochromatic sketch that prominently features two windows with bars. Rendered in a simple yet evocative style, the windows with bars dominate the composition, providing a sense of confinement. The drawing is minimalistic, with precise lines that define the barred windows and their surrounding structures. Below the windows, there appear to be faint outlines of what could be a figure or objects, adding a layer of mystery and depth to the piece. The bare background and the focused detailing of the windows emphasize the stark and contemplative nature of the artwork.
