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)
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a “home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.”
—Emily Post (1873–1960)
