À propos de l’œuvre
Chalet avec arbres et paysanne, par Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh · June 1885 · Nuenen, Netherlands
Cottage between the trees with peasant girl, F187Reproduction of oil painting on canvas
A dark cottage almost disappears under two large trees, while a motionless peasant woman stands in front of the facade. Van Gogh superimposes the house, the trunks and the foliage to create a dense refuge, pierced by a few flowers and a burst of sky.
Look at the work
A small figure in front of a house buried under the trees
The facade and roof occupy the center, but remain partially hidden by the trunks. A low window, a door and a few lines of wood emerge from the darkness.
The peasant woman, dressed in dark and wearing a light cap, stands out in front of the house. At the foot of the trees, small pink, white and yellow touches introduce a colorful life into the deep greens.
Cottage between the trees with peasant F187/JH808 is a 47.5 × 46 cm oil on canvas painted in Nuenen in June 1885. The work today belongs to a private collection.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The almost square composition tightens the space around the cottage. Vertical trunks frame the figure and support a vault of dark foliage, while a light gap illuminates the roof.
Trees become architecture
Their trunks form two irregular pillars and their branches close the top of the painting. The house appears sheltered inside this plant structure.
Peasant provides single fixed point
Placed in the low center, its vertical silhouette contrasts with the twisted branches and oblique lines of the roof. Its light cap allows you to spot it immediately.
Flowers awaken dark lands
A few touches of pink, red and cream punctuate the ground. Their small scale reinforces by contrast the deep mass of the trees and the cottage.
Documented benchmarks
Precisely identify the original work
The painting is listed under F187 and JH808, with a dating from June 1885. Its almost square format and the presence of the peasant woman make it possible to distinguish it from other studies of cottages carried out in Nuenen.
The cottage as a place to live
Van Gogh does not only deal with architecture: the figure, flowers and openings show a dwelling integrated into its daily environment.
An almost square balance
With 47.5 × 46 cm, the support tightens the pattern. The trees do not border a panorama: they directly envelop the house and the peasant woman.

These issues precisely connect the painting to the catalogs raisonnés of Van Gogh's work. The original is currently kept in a private collection.
