Farms near Auvers or Thatched Cottages by a Hill is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh that he painted in July 1890 when he lived in Auvers-sur-Oise , France. ^[1]^[2] The painting is an example of the double-square canvases that he employed in his last landscapes. ^[3]

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-Remy 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.
