The artwork titled “Lange Vijverberg, Hague” is a sketch and study created by Vincent van Gogh in 1883. It was composed during his time in The Hague, Netherlands and falls within the Realism art movement.
The artwork presents a tranquil scene set along Lange Vijverberg in The Hague. Rendered in pencil, the composition captures a serene and somewhat melancholic atmosphere, with bare trees stretching their intricate branches towards the sky. The linear elements of the trees and the figures walking along the path add a sense of texture and depth to the piece. In the middle ground, a woman accompanied by a child and a gentleman are depicted strolling along the sidewalk, while an ornate streetlamp stands tall on the right side. The background features a canal lined with railings and additional bare trees, along with a subtle suggestion of distant buildings. The meticulous detailing and thoughtful composition reflect Van Gogh’s keen observation and artistic mastery.
