Daubigny's Garden is one of three works by that name that Van Gogh painted in May-June 1890, all depicting the enclosed garden at Auvers-sur-Oise belonging to the Barbizon School painter Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878). Van Gogh, a longtime admirer of Daubigny's work, painted scenes around the house then still occupied by Daubigny's widow. The other two canvases, one in Kunstmuseum Basel and the other in the Hiroshima Museum of Art, both show the entire garden, while in this study, Van Gogh focused on a single portion of it. He described the scene, with an accompanying sketch, in a letter to his brother Theo.
