In March 1882 van Gogh received a commission to produce a series of cityscapes of The Hague of twelve sheets, which was followed in the next month by another commission for another series, this time of six sheets but more elaborated. The present drawing, depicting the gardener Pierre Levin van der Putte's tree nursery, belongs to this second group. This series are primarily exercises in perspective and proportion. ## Related artworks - [A Cottage on the Heath and "The Protestant Barn"]() - [A Lane in the Public Garden at Arles]() - [A Meadow in the Mountains: Le Mas de Saint-Paul]() - [A Pair of Leather Clogs]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Workman's Meal-Break]() - [Agostina Segatori in the Café du Tambourin]() - [Almond Tree in Blossom]() - [Apricot Trees in Blossom]() - [At Eternity's Gate \("Worn Out"\)]() - [Avenue of Plane Trees near Arles Station]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
