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 skreak and skritter of evening gone
And grackles gone and sorrows of the sun,
The sorrows of sun, too, gone . . . the moon and moon,
The yellow moon of words about the nightingale
In measureless measures, not a bird for me....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“In a tiger’s house there are no puppy dogs.”
—Chinese proverb.
