“Parsonage Garden at Dusk” is a pencil sketch on paper completed by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh in 1885 while residing in Nunen (or Nuenen), Netherlands. This artwork belongs to the Realism art movement and is categorized as a sketch and study. It is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork depicts a serene yet somewhat somber scene set in a garden at dusk. The somber tones and the skeletal structure of the bare trees evoke a sense of quiet introspection. The pencil strokes create a textured ambiance that captures the dusk atmosphere beautifully. A solitary figure is seen walking along a path, adding a touch of human presence to the otherwise tranquil and somber landscape. The sketch exhibits van Gogh’s remarkable ability to convey mood and place with minimalistic yet expressive techniques.
