Vincent van Gogh, Two Peasant Women, 1890

Vincent van Gogh, Two Peasant Women, 1890


Van Gogh used the women from Millet's The Gleaners as inspiration for this painting of women digging in the frozen snow. Unlike the others, this work is not a literal translation of the original painting. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the fields of snow. The cool colors of the field contrast to the red in the sun and sky. Jan Hulsker places the painting as one of van Gogh's "reminisces of the North".[1]
