“Route” is a sketch and study created by Vincent van Gogh in 1881. This work belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement.
The artwork showcases a scene depicting a solitary figure walking with a lantern. The figure is dressed warmly and appears to be navigating a desolate path, illuminated partially by the lantern and casting a shadow on the ground. A stark, leafless tree dominates the background, adding an element of somberness to the setting. The overall composition is imbued with a sense of introspection and quietude, emblematic of van Gogh’s early explorations in capturing light and shadow in his art.
