Description
Van Gogh’s Two Crabs, hand-painted in oil
Painted in early 1889, Two Crabs shows a pair of orange-red crabs set against a boldly contrasting green ground, one upturned and one the right way up. Likely inspired by a Japanese print, it is a striking study in the vibrating complementary colour Van Gogh loved, a simple, unusual subject turned into a bold, almost modern picture.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the vivid crabs and green ground keep the punch of the original.
Where an offbeat study belongs
Bold and unusual, it suits a kitchen, a study, a modern interior or a hallway, and works well against neutral walls.
Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print
Order it as a hand-painted oil for genuine brushwork and impasto relief, finished by an experienced painter and made to order, or as an archival fine-art print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price.
