About the original work
In his first weeks in Arles, Van Gogh painted many fruit orchards. There is an almost identical, earlier version of this painting, which Van Gogh completed in one sitting. “I had been working outside in an orchard on a canvas of 20, a plowed piece of land in lilac, a thatched fence, two pink peach trees against a brilliant sky in blue and white, probably the best landscape I’ve done,” he wrote.
When he returned home, he saw the obituary of his uncle by marriage Anton Mauve (1838-1888), the well-known painter from whom he had once had lessons. He dedicated that first work to Mauve. He made this new version later, to send to Theo.
