Daubigny, Monet, Van Gogh

When Van Gogh settled in Auvers to seek care from the physician, Dr. Gachet, he learned with delight that Daubigny had had a home in Auvers. In mid-June 1890, he painted his first small study of Daubigny’s garden. In July, he made this larger version of the house and its property, adding the small dark figure of Madame Daubigny in the distance at the left, along with a black cat in the foreground.
