Description:
Painted in Saint-Rémy in March-April, 1890. From May 1889 to May 1890, van Gogh allowed himself to be institutionalized in Saint-Rémy not far from Arles. Between attacks he drew and painted in the garden and in the building, making self-portraits, portraits of the staff and patients, and depicting the view from his window. His room looked out on to a wheat-field fenced off by a low wall, with the Alpilles mountain range in the background. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
