The artwork titled “Station in The Hague” by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1882, depicts a cityscape of The Hague, Netherlands, executed in pencil and ink on paper. This piece belongs to the Realism movement and is currently housed in the Gemeentemuseum den Haag in The Hague, Netherlands.
The artwork presents a detailed and meticulous rendering of a train station with a prominent glass roof structure emerging from the landscape. The scene captures the quiet, yet dynamic essence of the cityscape with leafless trees and a somber sky, drawing attention to the architectural features of the station. The strokes of pencil and ink convey a sense of depth and texture, compelling the viewer to appreciate the intricate composition and realism reflective of van Gogh’s early works. The horizon is marked by a horizon line cutting across the upper third of the artwork, anchoring the composition and accentuating the vastness of the scene.
