Harvest Landscape Near Arles

Under the vast expanse of an azure sky in Provence near Arles, France, this painting captures the essence of harvest time. A lone figure toils amidst lush green crops within a fenced garden plot at the foreground while another works diligently beside a haystack further back. In the middle ground, wheat fields stretch out towards rolling hills adorned with sparse trees; farmhouses dotting the horizon complete the idyllic rural scene. Van Gogh's signature brushwork imbues every stroke with movement conveying both tranquility and laboriousness inherent during agricultural seasons.
