Painting of a lilac bush with violet blossoms and green leaves, surrounded by grass, yellow shrubs and a path, under a blue sky.

Lilac Bush by Vincent van Gogh, 1889

A dense lilac bush with pale violet blossoms and green foliage fills the center of this painting, its feathery brushstrokes swirling against a deep blue sky. Grass, yellow shrubs and a narrow path with a tree trunk frame the bush in loose, energetic strokes.
