The artwork titled “Enclosed Wheat Field with Reaper” was created by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh in 1889 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. This piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and serves as a sketch and study genre.
The artwork features a meticulously rendered wheat field enclosed by a fence, capturing the reaper at work amidst swirling crops and undulating landscapes. Dominated by earthy tones and fluid lines, it showcases Van Gogh’s distinct style, characterized by dynamic brushstrokes that convey movement and emotion. The sun, marked simply as a circle, is depicted hanging in the sky, bathing the scene in a soft, warm light. The composition exudes a sense of contemplative solitude and the laborious yet harmonious routine of agricultural life.
