  • A letter of around 10 July 1890 to his brother Theo is generally taken as evidence of Vincent's depressed state of mind at the time. In the letter he refers obliquely to money and health problems and continues "There – once back here I set to work again – the brush however almost falling from my hands and – knowing clearly what I wanted I’ve painted another three large canvases since then. They’re immense stretches of wheatfields under turbulent skies, and I made a point of trying to express sadness, extreme loneliness ...", though this dispirited remark is immediately followed by the cheerier "You’ll see this soon, I hope – for I hope to bring them to you in Paris as soon as possible, since I’d almost believe that these canvases will tell you what I can’t say in words, what I consider healthy and fortifying about the countryside."
One of these three canvases is described by van Gogh himself as Daubigny's garden F776. The identity of the remaining two canvases is not known exactly from the letter, but they are thought to be this one F778 and Wheatfield with Crows F779 (de la Faille, p. 299). Jan Hulsker departs from this commonly accepted view, citing F781 and F782 as the paintings in question (Hulsker, p. 476-8), a view echoed by Van der Ween and Knapp (p. 59).
