GOGH, Vincent van

Two Cut Sunflowers

Catalogue numbers: F 375, JH 1329.

Late in the summer of 1887, when the sunflowers were fading, van Gogh addressed the motif of sunflowers, isolating and focusing it in two small format studies, the present one in New York (F 375) and another in Bern (F 376). On these studies a third, large-format painting of cut sunflowers (F 452) is based.
