Watercolor painting by Vincent van Gogh

Peatery in Drenthe, also Peat Bog, watercolor, 1883. Private collection (F1094)

Peatery in Drenthe (F1094) is a watercolor created by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh in late 1883, during a period that he spent in Drenthe working on his watercolour technique to secure election to the Hollandsche Teekenmaatschappij (Dutch drawing society).

The early work measures 41 by 54 centimetres (16 in × 21 in). It shows a peat quarry in the evening, suggested by the pink skyline.

It was sold at Sotheby's in 2004 for £106,500. It is held in a private collection.
