Description:
|
Painted in Nuenen, March, 1885. In December 1883 van Gogh returned out of sheer necessity to his parents’ home, who now lived in Nuenen. Van Gogh remained in Nuenen until November 1885, working in its environs. It was during this period that he made the first watercolours and paintings that he did not consider as mere studies or exercises, but as full-fledged works of art suitable for public exhibition.
