Van Gogh had only just gone to live in the Yellow House when he sat down to draw in the park opposite. He was stony broke and had no more paint, but he never let a day go by without working.
The subject may not be particularly exciting: a few trees and bushes behind a fence. But it is intriguing to see how Van Gogh handles it. Note the distinctive way in which he represents the various types of vegetation: dots for the gravel, heart-shaped leaves for the tree on the left. He was using reed pens in different widths.
