Van Gogh spent the last few months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, a small town just north of Paris, after he left an asylum at Saint-Rémy in May 1890.^[4] Shortly after arriving at Auvers, Van Gogh wrote his sister Wil: "Here there are roofs of mossy thatch which are superb, and of which I’ll certainly do something."^[5] The painting appears to be unfinished. It is similar to Thatched Cottages and Houses, a painting thought to have been executed shortly after arrival at Auvers.^[6] In 1933 the painting was bequeathed by C. Frank Stoop to the Tate Collection in London, though it is currently on loan to The National Gallery.^[6][7] It was painted the same month Van Gogh died.
