Thje Painting
The painting was originally part of the Bourbon-Two Sicilies Royal Collection and was later acquired by Italian actor Edy Vessel at a Sotheby’s London auction in 1991. “Les canots amarrés” is one of three landscape paintings Van Gogh created at Asnières in the northwest of France in 1887.
