Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was not only a painter of extraordinary colour and emotional intensity but one of the greatest draughtsmen of the 19th century — an artist who produced over 1,000 drawings and sketches with a reed pen, pencil, and chalk that reveal the spontaneous, searching intelligence behind his canvases. His figure drawings — labourers, fishermen, weavers, and peasants — executed in The Hague in the early 1880s are studies of working humanity rendered with empathy, graphic authority, and a commitment to honest observation that grounds his entire subsequent development as a colourist.
