Plowman with Stooping Woman, and a Little Farmhouse with Piles of Peat

"Plowman with Stooping Woman, and a Little Farmhouse with Piles of Peat" exemplifies van Gogh's mastery in capturing rural life through his Realism. Although he did not begin painting until his late twenties, van Gogh’s Sketch and study methods often involved working with paper using ink to develop compositions quickly. This work, like many of his early pieces, reflects his deep connection to peasant labor and natural landscapes. Despite limited recognition during his lifetime, van Gogh’s prolific output of over 2,000 artworks, including paintings and sketches, laid the groundwork for modern art.
