Realizing that his attacks were intermittent, his doctor soon consented to short painting trips outside the hospital. While walking through the town that November, Van Gogh was struck by the sight of the laborers repairing a road beneath immense plane trees. Rushing to capture the yellowing leaves but lacking a proper canvas, he painted on a piece of cheap linen that had a pattern of small red diamonds, visible in the picture's many unpainted areas. "In spite of the cold," he wrote to his brother in Paris, "I have gone on working outside till now, and I think it is doing me good and the work too."Shortly after completing this painting he produced another version of the same subject that is now in the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.
