🪄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.

I love how the composition draws your eye to the central figure, creating a strong focal point.
