Stooks and a Mill

"Stooks and a Mill" by Vincent van Gogh exemplifies his mastery of sketch and study techniques on paper. This work, likely created as a study for a larger composition, captures rural life with its detailed depiction of stacked stooks and a distant mill. Van Gogh's use of chalk highlights his focus on capturing texture and form within a realistic Realism style. Its date and cataloging remain uncertain, reflecting the challenges in accurately dating Van Gogh's drawing works, especially those listed by Jan Hulsker.
