Van Gogh lived his last two months in Auvers. He painted some eighty works in that time - an average of more than one a day. He painted thirteen portraits in a very few weeks, a rate of production that he had scarcely achieved even in Nuenen. He was more interested than ever in youngsters and children, seeing them as symbols of carefree, optimistic life.
