Postcard with Two Peasants Digging

Vincent van Gogh

National Gallery of Art

This drawing is a sketch of two people working in a field. The people are bent over with their backs to us. The person on the left appears to wear a dress, while the person on the right wears a jacket with trousers and a hat. The landscape around them is drawn in simple lines, showing some trees and a small house in the distance. Outside of the sketch, most of the paper is taken up by several lines of handwritten text, with a signature on the bottom left.
