The Red Vineyards near Arles is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, executed on a privately primed Toile de 30 piece of burlap in early November 1888.
It depicts workers in a vineyard, and it is the only painting known by name that Van Gogh sold in his lifetime.
[1][2] The Red Vineyard was exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition of Les XX, 1890, in Brussels, and sold for 400 francs to Belgian painter and collector Anna Boch, a member of Les XX.
[3][4] Anna was the sister of Eugène Boch, another impressionist painter and a friend of Van Gogh, whose portrait Van Gogh painted (Le Peintre aux Étoiles) in Arles in autumn 1888.
After the Russian Revolution, the painting was subsequently nationalised by the Bolsheviks and was eventually passed to Moscow's Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, where it resides today.
