Vincent van Gogh, 1885 - Peasant Woman Cooking by a Fireplace - fine art print

Supplementary description by the museum (© Copyright - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

This work was made in Nuenen in late spring 1885, just after Van Gogh completed The Potato Eaters (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam), in the same dark hues that reminded the artist of "green soap" or "a really dusty potato, unpeeled of course." Van Gogh was "convinced that in the long run it produces better results to paint [peasants] in their coarseness than to introduce conventional sweetness… If a peasant painting smells of bacon, smoke, potato steam—fine—that’s not unhealthy—if a stable smells of manure—very well, that’s what a stable’s for."

"Peasant Woman Cooking by a Fireplace" was by the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. The original measures the size: 17 3/8 x 15 in (44,1 x 38,1 cm). Oil on canvas was applied by the painter as the medium of the artpiece. This piece of art can be viewed in in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, New York, United States of America.
