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)
“down the sidewalk
where laborers feed their dirty
glistening torsos sandwiches
and Coca-Cola, with yellow helmets
on. They protect them from falling
bricks, I guess.”
—Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
“Then he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling things there; and he said, “It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of robbers.””
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 19:45,46.
