Description

The painting features yellow wheatfields in the front with a hillside view of the parts of Auvers-sur-Oise around the church and curling clouds and skies above the town. The church of Auvers is located at the top-left of the painting and rises high above the rooftops of the surrounding houses. The painting is on a relatively small canvas for Van Gogh's works, with dimensions of only 34 × 42.1 cm in contrast to The Church at Auvers, which has 74 cm × 94 cm.[2]
