Iris by Vincent van Gogh
900,00€ VAT excluded
Van Gogh was fascinated by Japanese prints and the influence they had on his painting is evident in this Iris, with its decisive outline and strong close-up view. While it was most likely just a study, the painting we drew this detail from is one of the highest valued paintings in the world.

Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears a Human soul.
Emily Dickinson
