The artwork, entitled “Chair near the Stove,” is a pencil sketch on paper created by Vincent van Gogh in 1890. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement and serves as a sketch and study genre. This artwork is currently housed in the Van Gogh Museum, located in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
In the artwork, Van Gogh captures a simple domestic scene with minimalistic and expressive lines. A chair is positioned near a stove, evoking a sense of everyday life and intimate space. The stove and surrounding details are rendered with quick, assured strokes, reflecting Van Gogh’s characteristic style of capturing the essence of his subjects with an economy of means. The composition, though sparse, speaks volumes about the quiet, introspective moments of daily living, a theme often explored in Van Gogh’s studies.
