[1] Done in oil on canvas, the painting depicts a pair of cypress trees in the French countryside.

[2] Cypresses was painted by Vincent van Gogh while the post impressionist was a patient at Saint-Paul asylum in Saint-Rémy.

While being held at the asylum, van Gogh was allowed to continue his painting; among other subjects, the artist was interested in painting cypresses (which van Gogh described as "beautiful as regards lines and proportions, like an Egyptian obelisk"[3]) and pines.

The work was later shown at the 1890 meeting of the Salon des Indépendants in Paris.
