This drawing shows the house of the railway attendant. Van Gogh concentrated on the pollard willows which he observed with the utmost precision. The trees grow out of the slope, they stand side by side as so many characters - one slender, the other thicker, one is bent, another has cracks in the bark. The thin branches are outlined against the sky like blood vessels. ## 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]()
