Notes
  • The drawing is the left sketch on a larger sheet which has a sketch of a perspective frame on the right.
  • The reverse side of this sheet carries the drawings Chestnut Leaf with Pod and Landscape with Cypresses.
  • Catalogues raisonnés:
  • F1541v: Faille, Jacob Baart de la (1970) [1928] The Works of Vincent van Gogh. His Paintings and Drawings, Amsterdam: J.M. Meulenhoff, no. 1541v .
  • JH1729 : Jan Hulsker (1980), The Complete Van Gogh, Oxford: Phaidon, no.  1729.
  • The drawing is generally taken to be a study for Starry Night and is thus dated to May-June by the Van Gogh Museum (Naifeh, Smith n. 314). However Ronald Pickvance thought the drawing was probably dated later (Pickvance p. 103).
  • The drawing is nevertheless certainly a careful sketch of St. Rémy-de-Provence. Note that Vincent has included the rotunda (and a suggestion of the neoclassioc vestibule) of the church, omitting them in his painting Starry Night. Pickvance thought the steeple in that painting more Dutch than Provence, the first of Vincent's "memories of the North" (des souvenirs du nord) he was to refer to in a later letter from Saint-Rémy, his first letter after his most serious collapse at the beginning of 1890 (Pickvance p. 103).[1]
