🪄About the artwork:

In "Scene of a Cottage with a Peasant Coming Back Home," van Gogh would typically portray a modest cottage, possibly surrounded by a desolate or sparsely vegetated landscape, indicative of the harsh living conditions. The scene captures the moment when a peasant, perhaps weary from a day's work, returns home, a theme that emphasizes the daily struggles and the enduring spirit of the rural working class.

The artist’s technique is truly impressive, especially in the way they’ve captured the play of light.
