Thatched Sandstone Cottages in Chaponval is a 1896 oil by Vincent van Gogh, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting shows two thatched sandstone cottages with a grassy hill in front. The cottages have steeply pitched roofs and chimneys. The walls are made of rough-hewn sandstone blocks. The hill is covered with green grass and a few red flowers. The painting is done in thick, heavy brushstrokes, with visible texture on the canvas. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of rustic simplicity and charm. This painting is by Vincent van Gogh.
