The reverse exhibits toning, scattered marks, a paper label, and ink stamps. Presented in an ornate gold-tone frame displaying wear, abrasions, and small areas of loss. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the condition report. Provenance: The reverse bears a “Musée d’Orsay” label identifying Vincent van Gogh, a date of 1890, and oil as the medium. Additional faint collection or gallery markings appear on the reverse. These labels and markings are presented as found and have not been independently verified. Visual Description: A nocturnal cityscape depicting a canal bordered by rows of buildings beneath a swirling blue sky illuminated by glowing yellow stars. Reflections from the buildings and celestial forms ripple across the dark water in vertical strokes of yellow, blue, green, and white. The intense color contrasts, energetic brushwork, and spiraling sky evoke the expressive Post-Impressionist visual language associated with Vincent van Gogh.For additional information regarding certification, provenance, or any inquiries about this piece or other items, please don't hesitate to contact us through the HiBid platform.
