how much did wheatfield with cypresses cost in 1993 ?
In a letter to his brother , Theo , written on 2 July 1889 , Vincent described the painting : " I have a canvas of cypresses with some ears of wheat , some poppies , a blue sky like a piece of Scotch plaid ; the former painted with a thick impasto like the Monticellis , and the wheat field in the sun , which represents the extreme heat , very thick too .
