The Red Vineyards

"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." Wikipedia I'm rather surprised I was not familiar with this painting since I have seen a lot of Van Gogh paintings in galleries and in books. Also surprised it was the only painting known by name that he sold in his lifetime and that it was on a piece of burlap.
