The artwork titled “Cypresses with Four People Working in the Field” was created by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh in 1890 while he was in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. Executed with chalk on paper, this piece falls under the Post-Impressionism art movement and is categorized as a sketch and study. Currently, the artwork is housed in the Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany.
The artwork presents an agrarian scene where four individuals are engaged in fieldwork amidst towering, swirling cypress trees. The use of line work demonstrates Van Gogh’s distinctive style, capturing movement and life in the landscape. The figures in the field are depicted in various positions of labor, adding a dynamic and realistic touch to the rural setting. The overall composition reflects Van Gogh’s deep connection to nature and his ability to convey the essence of the countryside through minimal yet expressive details.
