Description
On 31 January 1890, Theo wrote to Vincent that his wife Jo had bore them a son, whom they planned to name Vincent Willem. Shortly thereafter Vincent painted this picture of blooming almond branches - one of the first signs of spring - for his new nephew. Theo and Jo received the canvas in early May, and gave it a place of honour in their apartment, above the piano.
