‘Near the Hearth’ is a captivating black and white pencil drawing created in 1881 by Vincent van Gogh during his formative years as an artist. Reflecting influences from Willem van de Velde the Elder's seascape techniques, it portrays a solitary man seated comfortably near a hearth, surrounded by familiar domestic items – a clock, vase, and books – capturing a moment of quiet contemplation.
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890): Explore the life & art of the Dutch Post-Impressionist master behind 'Starry Night' and 'Sunflowers'. Discover his bold style & lasting impact on modern art.
This sketch shares stylistic similarities with Millet’s ‘Morning: Peasant Couple Going to Work,’ demonstrating Van Gogh's fascination with depicting working-class figures and conveying spiritual contemplation. It exemplifies his technique of direct graphite application onto paper, resulting in a tactile surface.
