Park at Arles with a Corner of the Yellow House, 1888

Van Gogh drew this meandering path in the park at Arles shortly after he began renting the Yellow House in May 1888. A corner of the house can be glimpsed in the upper right. Van Gogh felt he could probably have found a better place to rent, but wrote ‘the delightful thing about this studio is the gardens opposite’.
