Wheat sheavesReproduction of oil painting on canvas
Eight sheaves erected occupy a field just harvested. In this exceptionally wide panorama, Van Gogh gives each bundle of wheat its own silhouette, then connects the whole with a network of pale blue, ocher and cream touches.

Look at the work
Eight individualized sheaves in the harvest light
The sheaves do not form a regular row. Some lean, others widen at their base or tighten under the link. The larger ones cut almost the entire height of the field, while the following ones slide between them and extend the pattern towards the edges.
Van Gogh models the straw with yellow, beige and brown lines, but reserves a very light gray blue for the shadows. The mown earth is built by short, horizontal touches. A thin succession of green and ocher bands closes the landscape without a real sky.
Each sheaf becomes a character of the harvest: different from its neighbor, but united to the field by the same pictorial material.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The 1985.R.80 canvas can be recognized by its double square format, its eight bundles of wheat and its unusually light range dominated by straw and blue.
01
A double square format
With a width almost exactly twice its height, the canvas forces the eye to circulate laterally. The sheaves thus replace the vanishing point with a rhythmic succession.
02
Pale blue shadows
Blue does not describe the sky: it lands on straw and the ground. This cold contrast brings out the yellows without hardening the volumes.
03
Eight distinct silhouettes
The tilt, opening and connection of each sheaf varies. This individuality is at the heart of the composition and must remain readable in a faithful reproduction.
Documented benchmarks

The Dallas Museum of Art preserves Wheat Sheaves under number 1985.R.80. The work, painted in July 1890, is cataloged F771 and JH2125.
Series
Thirteen paintings in double square format
After receiving new paintings on June 17, 1890, Van Gogh created thirteen compositions in Auvers in this very elongated format. Sheaves of wheat belong to the last of this set.
Subject
From harvest to bundle
The collective field was cut and then collected into distinct units. The museum highlights the individuality of these sheaves, opposed to the uniform extent of the wheat before harvest.
Collection
Wendy and Emery Reves Collection
The work entered the Dallas Museum of Art in 1985 with the collection of Wendy and Emery Reves. It bears the 1985.R.80 inventory.
The painter must maintain the gap between the eight silhouettes, the blue-gray shadows placed on the straw and the variations in thickness which give the field its relief.
