Created in Nuenen, The Netherlands.
"By first practising a striking drawning technique, Van Gogh was able to employ a robust manner in the painting to convey in the hands and heads the character that resulted from the peasant's hard life. [...] Van Gogh's accomplishments as a draughtsman are truly translated into oil paint here." (quoted source, p.36, by Sjaar van Heugten).
