Portrait of a Young Peasant, 1889 Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)

We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Vincent van Gogh also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Portrait of a Young Peasant is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

Vincent van Gogh’s "Portrait of a Young Peasant," 1889, is more than a simple depiction of a farmhand; it’s a vibrant, pulsating dance of color and texture, where the subject’s quiet existence is elevated into something almost spiritual. The young peasant, with his stubbled face and half-smiling, half-worn expression, leans slightly toward us, meeting our gaze with an openness that feels raw and unpolished. He is a man of the earth, framed by a landscape that reflects his simple but essential life.

Look at that shirt - green and red stripes interwoven in Van Gogh's signature short, choppy strokes. It’s not just fabric; it’s alive, vibrating with the energy of the fields surrounding him. The green of the landscape behind him, rendered with thick impasto, practically melds into the young man’s skin, which carries a slight olive hue as though he has absorbed the very essence of the grass and trees around him. His striped, sailor-like shirt contrasts, both grounded and playful, as if to remind us of the boyishness still lingering beneath the sun-hardened exterior.

The colors are a symphony of contrasts - greens, reds, blues, all tempered by warm, earthy tones, and the way Van Gogh slashes his brush across the canvas, particularly in the background, makes the trees and fields ripple like they’re caught in the wind. The composition is simple, yes, but deceptively so. Van Gogh pushes the figure forward, filling the frame, pressing us into an intimate moment with the peasant - there’s no escape from this encounter. This is Van Gogh's magic: simplicity that leaves you breathless.
