Torso of Venus and a Landscape Torso of Venus and a Landscape Torso of Venus and a Landscape is a sketch by Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. It now resides in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. This drawing was created while van Gogh was staying with his brother in Paris (in 1886-1888), a period during which they did not write any letters to each other. As a result, little is known about the artist during this period except for his still-life paintings and "Agostina Segatori Sitting in the Café du Tambourin". In 1887, he sketched this drawing onto a piece of paper with black chalk
