About Pollard Willow

The artwork titled “Pollard Willow” is a creation by Vincent van Gogh, dated 1882. This piece, characterized by the mediums of ink and watercolor on paper, belongs to the Realism art movement and serves as a sketch and study. The artwork is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and was created in The Hague, Netherlands.

In the painting, the focal point is a lone, weathered willow tree, starkly pruned and set against a pastoral landscape. The tree stands near a path that curves along a waterway, leading the viewer’s eye towards distant buildings, rendered in a humble and rustic manner. The sky is painted with a moody and overcast ambiance, adding to the overall sense of solemnity in the scene. A solitary figure is seen walking along the path, contributing a sense of scale and quiet introspection to the composition. The naturalistic details and subdued color palette effectively capture the essence of van Gogh’s observational style during his early period.
