19th-century Netherlands

This painting shows a landscape with a horizon in the lower third of the composition. On the left side of the painting, there are tall trees along a canal. In the center is a dirt path on the other edge of the canal, with a person riding a donkey who looks over their shoulder towards us. On the right side, there are white buildings in the distance, with a grassy field leading towards them. The light blue sky is filled with fluffy clouds, and the water of the canal reflects the sky and trees. The brushstrokes of the painting are thick and visible, especially in the sky.
A work made of reed pen and black-brown ink, with black chalk on off-white wove paper.
Two Poplars in the Alpilles near Saint-Rémy, by Vincent van Gogh, 1889
A work made of oil on canvas.
The image shows a small body of water with grass-covered banks on either side. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, looking down at the scene. The horizon is in the upper third of the composition, separating the sky from the land. The artwork features intricate linework and stippling to create texture and detail, particularly in the tree branches. The color palette is monochrome, with shades of sepia and brown. A tree dominates the right side of the scene, leaning over the water. In the distance, more trees and fields are visible with minimal detail in the far background.
Wheat Field with Cypresses, by Vincent van Gogh, 1889
Landscape with Wheelbarrow, by Vincent van Gogh, 1883
A work made of soft ground etching, with roulette, printed in red on white wove paper.
