Other Depictions of The Yellow House
No preliminary work for this composition is known, but the building shows up in a few other representations by Van Gogh. The water-colour is, according to van Gogh, based on the painting.
Decades later, Paul Signac, van Gogh's comrade and partisan, did at least two water-colours of the site.

Famous quotes containing the words depictions, yellow and/or house:
“Surely, of all creatures we eat, we are most brutal to snails. Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil. Or roasted in the hot ashes of a wood fire.... If God is a snail, Bosch’s depictions of Hell are going to look like a vicarage tea-party.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The Lightning showed a Yellow Beak
And then a livid Claw.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, “I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life.” I mean people are going to say, “You’re crazy.” Plus they’re going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that’s a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.”
—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
