Compare F750 A Group of Cottages Pickvance says the exaggerated rounded roof lines are to be found in neither Dutch nor French cottages. They are in fact an example of Vincent's "return to the North" theme he had resolved on in the asylum at Saint Rémy Letter 874:To Theo van Gogh and Jo van Gogh-Bonger.
