"3 flowers, one flower that’s gone to seed and lost its petals and a bud on a royal blue background (no. 25 canvas) [n.3 Van Gogh refers to five flowers; the sixth (below centre) was added when the painting was mounted on wood and enlarged to 98 x 69 cm. ...]"

"(One of the decorations of sunflowers on a royal blue background has a ‘halo’, that’s to say, each object is surrounded by a line of the colour complementary to the background against which it stands out) [n.7 Van Gogh may have got the concept of ‘haloing’ from Charles Blanc ...]"
  • Destroyed by fire in 1945 (war bombing: it's thought the heavy wooden frame prevented it from being rescued in time).
  • Image rediscovered by Martin Bailey in 2012 in a portfolio of four prints pubished in Shirakaba, Tokyo 1921, found in the archives of the Mushakoji Saneatsu Memorial Museum. See for example BBC news story. There were other images published before this and these should be retained in Commons, but the Bailey image is the best as of late 2013.
