Peatery in Drenthe



Peatery in Drenthe (F1094) is a watercolor created by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh in late 1883, during a period that he spent in Drenthe working on his watercolour technique to secure election to the Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij (Dutch drawing society).

The early work measures 41 x. It shows a peat quarry in the evening, suggested by the pink skyline.

It was sold at Sotheby's in 2004 for £106,500. It is held in a private collection.
