The artwork titled “Newly Mowed Lawn with Weeping Tree,” created by Vincent van Gogh in 1888 in Arles, Bouches-du-Rhône, France, is a notable piece from the Post-Impressionism art movement. Rendered with ink on paper, this landscape genre artwork is presently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a calming and serene landscape dominated by a freshly mowed lawn with flowing, undulating lines, characterizing the texture of the cut grass. A weeping tree, leaning to the right, adds a sense of tranquility and depth, its drooping branches meticulously detailed with fluid, expressive strokes. In the background, other trees and foliage contribute to the layered composition, showcasing van Gogh’s adeptness in capturing the essence and movement of nature through dynamic yet controlled line work. The artwork conveys a sense of peaceful solitude, emblematic of van Gogh’s exquisite ability to portray the natural world with an emotive and intimate flair.
