The painting is a part of a series depicting trees and undergrowth that was inspired by one of his favorite songs Charles Dickens poem, Ivy Green.
Green and yellow tones dominate the artwork that depicts a wild forest in full bloom. Van Gogh applied colors in short brushstrokes across the canvas and used the interplay between light and shadows to portray the filing of loneliness characteristic of his final works.
