<p>There is no mention of this drawing in van Gogh's letters. Its very twisted, writhing forms suggest that it was made at the time van Gogh was staying at the Hôpital St Paul at St Rémy. It appears to be a view of the hospital garden itself. The irises in bloom in the bottom left-hand corner suggest it was made in the early summer. Van Gogh was at St Rémy from 8 May 1889 to 16 May 1890, which suggest this was probably drawn in about June 1889.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>

In the bottom left-hand corner are some irises in bloom which show that it was made in the early summer. Van Gogh was at St Rémy from 8 May 1889 to 16 May 1890: a dating about June 1889 seems most likely. </span>
