The painting is unusually wide, measuring 25 cm × 57 cm (9.8 in × 22.4 in) without its decorative frame, exceeding double square.[12] Van Gogh may have worked with the help of a perspective window (a wooden frame strung with wires).[13] It had been in the collection of the Groninger Museum, in the Dutch city of Groningen, since 1962[14] but was stolen in 2020.
