THE BIG QUESTION ABOUT THE ITEMS ON THE CHAIR
Painted by Vincent Van Gogh. Do you have the answer?

What is on the chair? What was so important to Vincent that he left it lay on the seat of the chair as he hurried to paint the cane chair. I think I know, but I would like to poll the viewers and get some responses, some answers. What these items are or were might unlock a little more about the mind of Vincent Van Gogh.
