There are no mentions of this painting in Vincent's letters. De La Faille assigned the painting to his Paris era, but later editors to his last year at Auvers because of its stylistic resemblance to Vase with Field Flowers and Thistles (F763), which can be dated to around 17 June 1890 from the letters (Hulsker (1977) p. 466). The painting realized $61,765,000 at a Sotheby's sale 4 November 2014, New York, reportedly purchased by Wang Zhongjun, one of the Huayi brothers. This was a record price for a van Gogh still-life.
