For this creation, Van Gogh painted a corner of the garden at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. He wrote to his brother Theo, ‘I''m working on another one, this time with ivy.’ Two years earlier, he had made paintings on this subject near Paris. At first glance, you see no more than a few tree trunks with overgrown ivy and spots of sunlight on the ground. The pillow is a magnification of the painting, and you can clearly see the many fluid brushstrokes. Most are short and strikingly multicoloured.
