Daubigny's Garden
by GOGH, Vincent van, Oil on canvas, 53 x 103 cm.
Catalogue numbers: F 776, JH 2104.
The first version of Daubigny’s Garden (F 765) was painted on a napkin, a square piece of material the sides of which measured half a metre. Soon he was planning to paint a more important picture of the subject, which he had grown fond of, and he did the two subsequent views of the garden (F 776 and 777) by simply doubling the canvas area and thus establishing the frieze format. It was the start of a new series.
