Catalogue Note
In summer 1881, van Gogh returned to his parents' parsonage in Etten. For the remainder of the year he worked hard at his draughtsmanship, seeking out landscapes, objects and characters to study.
The present work depicts a farm on the road to Roozendaal. 'Every day that it does not rain', he wrote to his brother Theo, 'I go out in the fields, generally to the heath. I make my studies on a rather large scale, like the few you saw at the time of your visit; so I have done, among other things, a cottage on the heath, and also the barn with a thatched roof on the road to Roozendaal, which locally they call the Protestant barn...' ( letter 145).
