The artwork, titled “Sheaf of Grain,” was created by Franz Marc in 1907. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and measures 78.74 x 58.42 cm. It is categorized within the landscape genre.
In the artwork, Marc presents a vivid and dynamic depiction of a sheaf of grain in a field. The central sheaf, rendered in vibrant hues of golden yellow, occupies the majority of the canvas. The brushstrokes are energetic and directional, imbuing the scene with a sense of movement and natural vitality. The backdrop consists of a softly colored sky, subtly contrasting with the rich, textured strokes of the grain. Marc’s technique reflects the Post-Impressionist influence through his use of bold color and expressive brushwork, capturing the essence and character of the rural landscape.
