Daubigny's Garden, painted in 1890, is one of the last works of Vincent van Gogh (the chronology of his final works is unknown). Daubigny's Garden depicts the garden of the late Charles-François Daubigny, a painter whom Van Gogh admired throughout his life. Daubigny's wife stands in the distance beside garden furniture. Van Gogh described the sky as "pale green" . There are two versions of this "double-square" canvas. The initial study, on extended loan to the Kunstmuseum Basel from the Rudolf Staechelin Family Foundation, has a the black cat in the foreground towards the left. The slightly later version, on extended loan to the Hiroshima Museum of Art, lacks the black cat; it was still visible in the earliest reproduction of the painting, published in 1900, but was later painted over. Van Gogh wrote in a letter dated 24 July 1890 to his brother Theo, "Perhaps you'll take a look at this sketch of Daubigny's garden – it is one of my most carefully thought-out canvases."
