This still life, limited to only a few objects, is an impressive example of Vincent van Gogh’s early painterly work. We see five bottles in front of a window, four of them made of clay. An already emptied bottle lies in front of other, stoppered vessels. In 1884 Van Gogh was living in Antwerp, having moved there from The Hague. It was only a year prior that he finally turned away from drawing and toward painting. At that time, he admired socially critical painters such as the Belgian artist Charles de Groux, a representative of Radical Realism. The earthy colors and simple materials such as wood and clay in Van Gogh’s still lifes also reflect the preoccupations of realistic painting.
