Wheat Field with Partridge — Vincent van Gogh, Paris 1887

Painted in 1887 during Van Gogh's Paris period, this plein-air landscape shows a ripe wheat field with a partridge among the grain — a subject drawn from everyday outdoor observation rather than symbolic intent. The warm golden palette and confident brushwork mark it as a turning point from his earlier, darker Dutch manner toward the luminous touch he would fully develop in Arles.
