‘New’ Van Gogh drawing never displayed publicly now at Amsterdam museum
Fox News
A recently discovered work by Vincent van Gogh is now being exhibited for the first time in public at the Amsterdam museum that bears the Dutch master’s name.
From the style of the sketch to the materials used — a thick carpenter’s pencil and coarse watercolor paper — the drawing conforms to Van Gogh’s Hague drawings. There are even traces of damage on the back, linking the artwork to the way Van Gogh used wads of starch to attach sheets of paper to drawing boards.
Emilie Gordenker, Director of the Van Gogh Museum, told Fox News that the piece is a must-see for American tourists: "As a centre of expertise dedicated to the work of Vincent van Gogh and his contemporaries, we’re delighted with this discovery and are very happy to have made a contribution to our specialist field. It’s quite rare for a new work to be attributed to Van Gogh. We’re proud to be able to share this early drawing and its story with our visitors."
