The artwork titled “Evening – The Watch (after Millet)” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1889 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. This piece, rendered in oil on canvas, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and measures 93.5 x 74.5 cm. It is a genre painting that captures everyday life and is housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts an intimate evening scene, where a man and a woman are seated in a rustic, dimly lit room. The man appears to be dozing or resting with his head bowed and arms crossed, while the woman is engaged in an activity, possibly knitting or sewing, under a bright lamp on the table. The space around them is filled with warm, earthy tones and textured brushstrokes typical of van Gogh’s style. A cat is nestled nearby, adding to the sense of domestic tranquility. The piece exudes a sense of quiet and repose, reflective of the simplicity and contemplative moments of rural life.
