About this work

You see a plain white house with a dark roof and a single small tree beside it. The lines are sketchy and soft, not sharp. A narrow path leads to the door. Van Gogh drew this early on before his bright colors. He used soft graphite lines to show light and shadow. It looks quiet and simple but kind of lonely too. Look up Gogh, Vincent van next.
