Painting of a golden wheat field with purple irises in front, olive trees and a small town with a church tower under a swirling blue sky.

View of Arles with Irises in the Foreground

A wide field of golden grain stretches across the middle of the canvas, with clusters of purple irises in the foreground. Olive-like trees and a distant town with a church tower sit along the horizon under a turbulent blue-green sky, all rendered in thick, swirling brushstrokes.
