Catalogue numbers: F 129a, JH 727. Van Gogh's main subject in 1885 was perhaps the potato. He not only painted the eating of potatoes, he also did a number of still-lifes of potatoes in baskets or crates. Furthermore, he followed the growing of potatoes, from the planting to the lifting, in a series showing people digging. |
