Vincent van Gogh – Peasant Walking with a Sack – 1928 Portfolio Print

About the Item

Title: Vincent van Gogh – Peasant Walking with a Sack – 1928 Portfolio Print Description: This 1928 print is a reproduction of 'Peasant Walking with a Sack', a drawing by Vincent van Gogh created in 1881-1882 during his Dutch period. The image captures a solitary farm laborer, head slightly bowed, as he strides forward carrying a heavy sack slung over his shoulder. His hunched posture and sturdy clothing emphasize the physical burden of agricultural work. The background is minimal, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the movement and determination of the figure. Executed in charcoal and pencil, Van Gogh’s bold, gestural strokes and expressive shading add depth and weight to the figure. The rough texture of the drawing conveys the harshness of rural life, while the play of light and shadow enhances the contrast between the worker and his surroundings. The peasant’s movement, slightly off-balance, suggests both exhaustion and perseverance, key themes in Van Gogh’s early depictions of laborers. Van Gogh was deeply influenced by Jean-François Millet and the Realist tradition, frequently depicting rural workers as symbols of endurance and dignity. The theme of walking figures, especially peasants engaged in labor, would appear throughout his career, later evolving into some of his most famous works. This drawing is an important early example of his ability to convey emotion and movement through simple yet powerful forms. Condition Summary: The print is in good condition, with minor age-related wear along the edges. Matting and Framing Tips: A neutral or warm-toned mat will highlight the depth of the drawing, while a classic black or dark wood frame will enhance its strong, evocative lines. UV-protective glass is recommended for long-term preservation.
