The Potato Eaters, 1885

Vincent van Gogh

Oil on canvas · 82 x 114 cm

A dim farmhouse supper painted in Van Gogh's early, earth-toned palette.

By dim lamplight a peasant family shares a plate of potatoes, faces rough and hands worn by labour. Van Gogh considered this dark 1885 canvas his first true masterpiece — an unflinching, deeply human portrait of the rural poor he lived among.
