“Sad but gentle, yet clear and intelligent” is how Vincent Van Gogh referred to his 1890 Portrait of Dr Gachet.
This activity (see pdf link above) works well with beginners. It exploits the fact that Van Gogh actually painted two easily-distinguishable versions of Dr Gachet. It addresses language that may be used for picture descriptions (present continuous, present simple, there is/are) as well as question forms.
