Fascinating.  I thought folks who might be visiting the Van Gogh Museum soon might find this of particular interest:

Fascinating, indeed.

 

When you look at the painting, you can just about make out that there's cloves of garlic, not the smooth surface of an onion.

 

FWIW, we had a nice long weekend in Amsterdam in 2019. Three days - three museums - Van Gogh, Rijks & the modern art one.
