We\u2019re open, we\u2019re delighted to be open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Discoveries of works by the famously troubled artist, who died in 1890, are extremely rare. The drawing is owned by a private collector and had never been known of or displayed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when (the owner) came to the museum it was a big surprise,\u201d said Senior Researcher Teio Meenendorp, adding that the piece was relatively easy to authenticate. The 50 x 30 cm (20 x 12 inch) work was done with Van Gogh\u2019s favourite drawing tool, a carpenter\u2019s pencil, in his distinctive style, on water-marked paper from 1877.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Senior researcher Teio Meenendorp unveils Vincent van Gogh\u2019s \u201cWorn Out\u201d artwork at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands on September 16, 2021.\" class=\"wp-image-19496306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Senior Researcher Teio Meenendorp says Vincent van Gogh used a carpenter\u2019s pencil to draw the artwork depicting an exhausted old man.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It closely resembles the more famous \u201cOld Man\u201d drawing, but the perspective is at eye-level with the old man, rather than from above.<\/p>\n<p>The work can be dated with unusual precision to the last weeks of November 1882, Meenendorp said, because of two letters Van Gogh wrote on Nov. 24 of that year. It was a period of relative stability for the artist while he was living with a woman in The Hague.<\/p>\n<p>One letter was to his brother Theo, saying he had made two drawings of \u201can old man with his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands\u201d and that he was thinking of making it into a lithograph.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Senior researcher Teio Meenendorp unveils Vincent van Gogh\u2019s \u201cWorn Out\u201d artwork at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands on September 16, 2021.\" class=\"wp-image-19496308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/van-gogh-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Senior researcher Teio Meenendorp unveils Vincent van Gogh\u2019s \u201cWorn Out\u201d artwork at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands on September 16, 2021.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhat a fine sight an old working man makes, in his patched bombazine suit with his bald head,\u201d Vincent wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The other letter was to a fellow artist, saying with confidence he planned to make a lithograph of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>.
