  • 677 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, Sunday, 9 September 1888. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "One of these days you’ll see a painting of the little house itself, in full sunshine or else with the window lit and the starry sky."
  • 691 To Theo van Gogh. Arles, on or about Saturday, 29 September 1888. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "Likewise croquis of a square no. 30 canvas showing the house and its surroundings under a sulphur sun, under a pure cobalt sky. That’s a really difficult subject! But I want to conquer it for that very reason. Because it’s tremendous, these yellow houses in the sunlight and then the incomparable freshness of the blue.
    All the ground’s yellow, too. I’ll send you another, better drawing of it than this croquis from memory; the house to the left is pink, with green shutters; the one that’s shaded by a tree, that’s the restaurant where I go to eat supper every day. My friend the postman lives at the bottom of the street on the left, between the two railway bridges. The night café that I painted isn’t in the painting; it’s to the left of the restaurant.
    Milliet finds it horrible ..."
  • 693 To Eugène Boch. Arles, Tuesday, 2 October 1888. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "And a view of my house and its surroundings under a sulphur sun, the sky hard, bright cobalt. That’s a difficult one!" More info at museum site

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
