Pedigree

"The Red Vineyard" was exhibited for the first time at the annual exhibition of Les XX, 1890 in Brussels, and sold for 400 Francs (which is equal to about$1,000-1,050 today) to Anna Boch, an impressionist painter, member of Les XX and art mecene from Belgium; "Anna Boch" was the sister of Eugène Boch, another impressionist painter and a friend of Van Gogh, too, who had painted Boch's portrait ("Le Peintre aux Étoiles") in Arles, in autumn 1888.

Like "The Night Café", it was acquired by the famous Russian collection Sergei Shchukin, was then nationalised by the Bolsheviks with the rest of his collection and eventually passed to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.
