The artwork “Cottages and Trees” by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1890 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, is a pencil sketch on paper that belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement. This piece, classified as a sketch and study, is part of the Ernesto Blohm Collection in Caracas, Venezuela.
The artwork depicts a simple rural scene with a couple of quaint cottages surrounded by trees. The lines are subtle yet expressive, characteristic of van Gogh’s style, capturing the essence of the landscape with minimal detailing. The trees appear somewhat wind-swept, adding a dynamic touch to the otherwise serene countryside setting. Overall, the simplicity of the medium does not detract from the rich texture and emotion conveyed through van Gogh’s adept use of pencil on paper.
