Thatched Cottages at Cordeville, 1890 or Chaumes de Cordeville à Auvers-sur-Oise (literally Thatches of Cordeville at Auvers-sur-Oise) is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh that he painted in May 1890 when he lived in Auvers-sur-Oise, France.

Van Gogh spent the last few months of his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, a small town just north of Paris, after he left the asylum in Saint-Rémy in May 1890.

Thatched Cottage of Cordeville, 1890 or Chaumes de Cordeville à Auvers-sur-Oise (literally Thatches of Cordeville at Auvers-sur-Oise) is thought to be the study he mentions in his letter of 21 May 1890 to his brother Theo and wife Jo immediately after arriving in Auvers:"... when I wrote to you I hadn’t yet done anything. Now I have a study of old thatched roofs with a field of peas in flower and some wheat in the foreground, hilly background. A study which I think you’ll like."

Hulsker believes the painting is amongst a group of 20 or so works executed by Vincent immediately after his arrival in Auvers, May 20, and the remainder of the month:" ... we immediately see in this painting the bright colours that, generally speaking, are characteristic of the Auvers period and differentiate them somewhat from the paintings done in Saint-Rémy - although there is naturally no question of a real break with the past from one week to the next."

The painting is in the Musee d'Orsay https://www.musee-orsay.fr/en/artworks/chaumes-de-cordeville-auvers-sur-oise-754
