Haystack in a landscape

In the years before 1900 Jan Toorop shows a variety of work.
He worked in a pure Pointillist style, he created Symbolist works and very true-to-life paintings.
Haystack in a landscape belongs to the last category.
The composition is executed in a simple and highly convincing way.
The colours are bright and colourfull.
This work is probably done during one of his trips to Belgium.
As he maintained a lively contact with the Belgians especially through La Libre Esthétique
