This drawing demonstrates that Van Gogh had by now developed a masterly grasp of perspective. Drawing purely by eye, he no longer needed to use mechanical aids to help him. Drawing with ink in the open air is quite a feat in itself, but Van Gogh's vision was perceptive. He had the ability to make certain features jump out and was able to divide the landscape up in such a way that recession was clearly recorded, leaving no doubt in the viewer's mind that the flat surface gradually disappeared into the distance.
