"A Girl in a Wood, painted while Van Gogh lived in The Hague, features a small figure dwarfed by a large tree, with a path leading into the composition."
"Recent research by specialists at Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum has redated the Christie's painting to August 1883, a year later than previously thought."
"The painting was last sold in 2002 for $670,000 and was acquired by a Chinese buyer, indicating the growing interest in Van Gogh's works in China."
Christie's is set to auction Vincent Van Gogh's painting A Girl in a Wood in Hong Kong, with an estimated value of $1.3m-$2.6m. The painting, created in August 1883, depicts a small figure overshadowed by a large tree. Recent research has redated the work, previously thought to be from 1882. The painting was last sold in 2002 for $670,000 and was acquired by a Chinese buyer. This auction represents a strategic move to tap into the growing Chinese art market.
