The artwork “Branch with Leaves” by Vincent van Gogh was created in 1890 and is executed in pencil on paper. This piece is part of the Post-Impressionism movement and is classified as a sketch and study. The drawing is a simple yet expressive depiction of a plant branch, showcasing several leaves of varying sizes and shapes gracefully attached to stems. The leaves are outlined with careful strokes, and subtle shading techniques give them volume and depth. The composition is delicate with attention to the natural details of the foliage, and there is a sense of movement in the way the leaves are arranged along the branch. The background remains unadorned, bringing the viewer’s focus entirely on the subject of the sketch.
