Thatched Cottages by a Hill is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh that he painted in July 1890 when he lived in Auvers-sur-Oise, France. The painting is as of 2006 in Tate Gallery in London.

It is one of the last works he painted. Raw canvas is visible in some parts of the work.

I think that the image you refer to is called Landscape with House and Ploughman - painted in October 1889; Oil on canvas, 33 x 41.4 cm (13 x 16 1/4 in); The Hermitage, St. Petersburg. It was part of the collection of Otto Krebs of Holzdorf.

Otto Krebs was born in 1873, in Wiesbaden, and died in 1941, childless. He graduated from university as a Doctor of Philosophy, and very soon showed himself as a gifted businessman on the post of controlling officer at the Strebel factory.

In his estate, Holzdorf, he gathered many items of art starting with ancient furniture and then moving onto contemporary paintings.

In the 1920s, when the factory was doing well, Krebs bought the paintings of the Impressionists. Unlike the American collector Dr. Barns from Philadelphia, who used to buy everything he could get, Dr. Krebs was very selective. He did not need quantitiy, but quality. As a result there are no ordinary works in his collection, all of them are masterpieces.

Otto Krebs chose the paintings that reflected all sides of a painter's talent. The core of his collection is made up of works by Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Gauguin.

Is this a question? Do you mean "Cottages with Thatched Roofs?"
