"Peasant, Seen from the Back and Three Hands Holding a Stick" is a compelling sketch and study by Vincent van Gogh that captures a humble peasant figure from behind. Often created on paper using chalk and other media, the drawing reflects Van Gogh's focus on Realism in his preliminary works. This piece highlights his mastery in capturing human form and gesture, serving as an important part of his incomplete catalog of drawings. As with many works by Van Gogh, the dating can be challenging but is often referenced through Jan Hulsker's catalogue.
