The artwork titled “People in the Studio” is a masterfully executed ink sketch on paper by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1883 during his time in The Hague, Netherlands. Belonging to the Realism art movement, this sketch falls under the genre of “sketch and study” and is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
In the artwork, van Gogh portrays a group of figures engaged in their own activities, characterized by his vigorous and spontaneous ink strokes. The arrangement and the interaction of the individuals within the studio space suggest a candid glimpse into their daily lives or work environment. Surrounding the central sketch are handwritten notes, likely by van Gogh himself, providing context or musings related to the depicted scene. The overall composition reflects van Gogh’s keen observational skills and his desire to capture the essence of human presence and movement.
