A Vincent van Gogh painting of an autumnal scene in the south of France has brought in more than $66 million at an auction in New York City.

According to the Sotheby’s auction firm, Van Gogh’s “Les Alyscamps,” which depicts a stand of autumnal trees, had been expected to go for around $40 million but ultimately an Asian collector paid $66.3 million after an intense bidding war between five potential buyers.

The painting was made in 1888 during a two-month period when van Gogh and Paul Gauguin worked side-by-side in Arles, France.

The most ever paid for a Van Gogh was in 1990, when his “Portrait of Dr Gachet” sold for $82.5 million in New York.
