The Trinquetaille Bridge - Arles, November 1888, Oil on canvas

In a letter to his brother, Theo, Vincent describes the painting:

"The Trinquetaille bridge with all these steps is a canvas done on a grey morning, the stones, the asphalt, the pavements are grey; the sky, pale blue, the figures, coloured; and there is a sickly tree with yellow foliage. Two canvases in gray and blended tones, and two highly coloured ones."

Here is a modern day photograph of this same POV:
