● Vincent van Gogh, The Starry Night, 1889. Oil on canvas, 29” x 36 ¼” (73.6 x 92 cm).
● The left side of the painting, there are a few black lines curving up to the top in a sort of a wave motion. It is unknown what this is but it looks like some kind of plant reaching for the sky. With close observation, the former black curves are actually dark green with a little black and blue.
● The lower right of the painting, there is a small town with houses. It is also recognizable by the lights inside the buildings.
● Behind the town are hills and mountains.
● In the background, it is noticeable that it is nighttime with a starry sky. The moon on the right side gives height to that so it balances with the figure on the left side of the painting.
