In Arles vervaardigde Van Gogh dit schilderij van zijn slaapkamer, die hij zelf had ingericht met simpele houten meubels en zijn eigen werk aan de muur. Door het gebruik van eenvoudige vormen en heldere, contrasterende kleurvlakken wilde Van Gogh, zoals hij zelf schreef, 'rust' of 'slaap' uitdrukken.
While in Arles, Van Gogh made this paiting of his bedroom, which he had arranged with plain wooden furniture and by hanging his own work on the wall. He wrote that he wished this painting, with the simple forms and bright, contrasting colour planes to represent 'rest' and 'sleep'.
