Title Deux Tournesols Medium Oil on Canvas Dimensions 8 × 10 inches (21 × 26 cm) Date 1889 Condition Good overall condition. The surface displays rich impasto, vibrant coloration, and expressive brushwork throughout the composition. Minor wear consistent with age and handling. The canvas remains structurally stable and presents beautifully for display. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Provenance The reverse bears a Galerie Louis Carré, 10 Avenue de Messine, Paris, France, label identifying the work as Deux Tournesols by Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), oil on canvas, painted in September 1889. This label is presented as part of the artwork's provenance and historical documentation and should not be interpreted as a certificate of authenticity or definitive proof of authorship. Description This expressive floral composition depicts two radiant sunflowers rendered with richly textured impasto and a vibrant palette of golden yellows, warm ochres, deep greens, and earthy browns. Bold directional brushstrokes and dynamic surface texture create a remarkable sense of movement and light, while the intimate scale enhances the emotional presence of the composition. Attributed to Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), this work displays many of the stylistic characteristics associated with the artist's celebrated late paintings, including expressive impasto, energetic brushwork, luminous color relationships, and an emotionally charged interpretation of nature. The composition reflects the visual language that established Van Gogh as one of the most influential figures in the history of Post-Impressionism.
