Tomorrow, Vincent van Gogh’s beautiful 'Still life, Vase with Daisies and Poppies' will be auctioned at Sotheby’s Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale.

This bouquet of wildflowers was painted at the home of his physician, Dr. Paul Gachet, just weeks before Van Gogh’s death in 1890. It’s one of the few works he sold during his lifetime.
