Harvest--The Plain of La Crau is a 1888 ink by Vincent van Gogh, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a wide, flat landscape with a few scattered trees and small buildings. The ground is covered in tiny dots and lines, giving it a textured look. In the middle, a group of people and a wagon work in what looks like a field. The artist used lots of cross-hatching—tiny overlapping lines—to create shadows and depth. The scene feels quiet, almost like a moment frozen in time. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how this technique works.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.
