It is a brown-black ox cart (with oxen and crows). OMG it is wonderful...the draftsmanship! This is a cool post--I share your enthusiasm for "VG"!

Thank you for showing Van Goghs I did not know either! They certainly get a whole new dimension when you look at them with a painter's eye.

What matters to me in this painting is his bold pursuit of shapes, the same pursuit instructors are teaching these days. Shapes are key.

I have a book dedicated to the graphic work of Van Gogh<br /> I like to see how he prepares the work and how then corrects him, to improve the composition and how the drawing contains all the strength of the work that follows.<br />Amazing to see how (as different as our capacity) at the idea that every painter to paint takes steps quite similar, reasoning that they are, eternally, those ..<br />I am moved by this fact, as we are in front of the paper or the canvas without color, and then put in this empty space our inner world.<br />Painting is a part of life itself for those who loves to paint like us.

I guess I'd have to research that. Off the top of my head I guessed after WW I when expressionism was provoked by the dreadful things going on. Interesting question.
