An indoor museum display features an informational text panel about Vincent van Gogh's work as a draughtsman. The main title is presented in Dutch as "Van Gogh tekenaar" and in English as "Van Gogh as a Draughtsman." Below the title, the text is arranged in two columns, with the Dutch version on the left and the English translation on the right. Both texts explain that Van Gogh was a prolific draughtsman, creating around 1100 drawings, approximately half of which are preserved in the museum. Due to their light sensitivity, these works can only be displayed for limited periods, and the current wall features a rotating selection of works on paper from 1880-1890. The text emphasizes Van Gogh's early dedication to drawing, which he considered "the root of everything" for an artist, and his continuous use of drawing to refine his skills and style, focusing on the expressive power of line without the distraction of color. His drawings are described as not only preparatory exercises but also significant artworks in their own right, with even less elaborate sketches being deemed worthy of admiration. A headphone icon with the number "02" is visible on the left side of the panel, indicating an audio guide stop. The entire display is set against a plain, light brown or beige background.
