Gallery owner: Because this painting appears in no catalog of van Gogh' s work, we cannot guarantee that he painted it  But consider: the subject is one he painted often, and experts agree that in his later paintings van Gogh invariably used just such broad brushstrokes and distinctive combinations of colors as we find here
Internal evidence, ttherefore, makes it virtually certain that this is a previously uncataloged, late van Gogh, and as such, a bargain at its price
provides no evidence that the painting is more likely to be an uncataloged van Gogh than to be a painting by someone else who painted that particular subject in van Gogh's style
