About Three Persons Sitting at the Window

The artwork, titled “Three Persons Sitting at the Window,” was created by Vincent van Gogh in 1885 in Nuenen, Netherlands. Rendered in ink on paper, the piece epitomizes the Realism art movement and serves as a sketch and study. It is currently housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The artwork depicts three figures seated by a window, with intricate line work illustrating the interior setting. The figures are presented in a stark, shadowed contrast, highlighting Van Gogh’s command of depth and texture through ink. The scene seems intimate, capturing a quiet moment of interaction or reflection among the trio. Surrounding the sketch are handwritten notes, also by Van Gogh, that add a personal touch and provide context to the study. The meticulous details in the shading and positioning underscore the artist’s observational skills and his focus on everyday human experiences.
