Created in Etten in 1881 during the formative beginning of Van Gogh’s artistic career, Boy Cutting Grass with a Sickle reflects his deep alignment with French Realist masters like Jean-François Millet. Deeply moved by the quiet nobility of agrarian life, Van Gogh focused on capturing the physical posture and focused solitude of peasant laborers working the soil. This early work provides a fascinating glimpse into the foundational drawing techniques, contours, and earthy color harmonies that would later evolve into his iconic Post-Impressionist masterpieces.
