This is one of the first drawings that Van Gogh made after moving to the south of France. At the bottom, slightly left of centre, he has noted his new address: Arles. Very unusually, he has also dated the drawing right down to the month.
Van Gogh had regularly drawn and painted pollard willows in the Netherlands but was surprised to come across them in the south of France. Soon after this, he wrote to his brother Theo: ‘Many of the subjects here are just – in character – the same as in Holland – the difference is in the colour.
