Wheatfield with lark (1887)

During his stay in Paris, Vincent often escaped the crowded city and visited the countryside to enjoy and paint nature. Traditionally, the flight of a lark indicates happiness, but Vincent may have used the soaring bird to embody the sense of freedom he felt when working outdoors in the countryside.
