About this work

This painting, titled The discarded basket by Theo van Doesburg and dated 1913, shows a tapering woven basket with vertical bands of muted blue, ochre and brown, with green stems or leaves rising from its opening. The basket rests on a dim, mottled ground with small green leaves scattered around it, and the loose, textured brushwork gives the surface a rough, worn quality.
