Van Gogh described the painting in a letter to his sister Wil:[7]Lately I’ve been working a lot and quickly; by doing so I’m trying to express the desperately swift passage of things in modern life.Yesterday in the rain I painted a large landscape viewed from a height in which there are fields as far as the eye can see, different types of greenery, a dark green field of potatoes, between the regular plants the lush, violet earth, a field of peas in flower whitening to the side, a field of pink-flowered lucerne with a small figure of a reaper, a field of long, ripe grass, fawn in hue, then wheatfields, poplars, a last line of blue hills on the horizon, at the bottom of which a train is passing, leaving behind it an immense trail of white smoke in the greenery.

Fine rain streaks the whole with blue or grey linesThe painting is in the collection of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow.
