10. Starry night (F 612 / JH 1731 ).

11. Wheatfield with sheaves and rising moon (F 735 / JH 1761 ).

12. Wheatfield and cypresses (F 743 / JH 1790 ) is a smaller version of the works listed in nn. 2 and 3 above; it measures 52 x 65 cm (no. 15 canvas).

13. No small version is known of any of the paintings of olive groves.

14. Reaper (F 619 / JH 1792 ) is a smaller version of the works listed in nn. 6 and 7 above; it measures 59.5 x 73 cm (no. 20 canvas).

15. The bedroom (F 483 / JH 1793 ) is a smaller version of The bedroom (F 482 / JH 1608 ) and The bedroom (F 484 / JH 1771 ). It measures 56.5 x 74 cm (no. 20 canvas).

16. This ‘little portrait of me’ was Self-portrait with clean-shaven face (F 525 / JH 1665 ), 40 x 31 cm. Van Gogh depicted the portrait in The bedroom (F 483 / JH 1793 ), the painting intended for his mother and Willemien (see n. 15).

17. The green vineyard (F 475 / JH 1595 ), The red vineyard (F 495 / JH 1626 ), Avenue of chestnut trees in blossom (F 517 / JH 1689 ) and Starry night over the Rhône (F 474 / JH 1592 ). The last-mentioned painting was on display at the fifth exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants; see letter 799. In the end Van Gogh did not make a repetitions of these.

18. The version painted from nature is Reaper (F 617 / JH 1753 ); the repetition is Reaper (F 618 / JH 1773 ).

19. Theo spoke of Dr Peyron’s visit in letter 807.

20. Van Gogh had asked for ten tubes of zinc white in letter 801. Theo had told him that Tasset had no more zinc white in stock and that it would take a while for the order to be filled (letter 802).

21. Van Gogh’s description of the trees and the soil corresponds quite closely with the ones in Olive grove (F 711 / JH 1791 ). That must have been the painting he was working on, and the smaller, more sketchy Olive grove (F 709 / JH 1760) probably shortly preceded it. See exhib. cat. Dallas 2021, pp. 109, 115.

22. Van Gogh is referring to the five paintings of sunflowers made in Arles. On this subject, see letter 783, n. 9.
