Notes

Catalogues raisonnés:

  • F830: Faille, Jacob Baart de la (1970) [1928] The Works of Vincent van Gogh. His Paintings and Drawings, Amsterdam: J.M. Meulenhoff, no. 830 .
  • JH1 : Jan Hulsker (1980), The Complete Van Gogh, Oxford: Phaidon, no.  1.
  • Probably copied after Le Rat's etching of The Sower (de la Faille).
  • Vincent's squared-up copy of Le Rat's etching can be seen in the Commons here. An editorial note in letter 156 says it is not certain whether Vincent possessed his copy at this time. He had copied the same image eight months earlier in Cuesmes (letter 156), and in a following letter says he has copied it five time over in all. Most of these early studies, including the whole series of sixty studies in the Bargue drawing course he is known to have executed three times over, are lost (Hulsker p. 13). For Millet's original painting see, for example, the version in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, of which there is a Google Art Project file on Commons here. There are several versions of this painting. The editorial note in letter 156 says Vincent may have seen a pastel version at an 1875 Paris sale of Millet drawings (letter 36).
  • Letters
  • Letter 036 to Theo van Gogh. Paris, Tuesday, 29 June 1875. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "There was a sale here of drawings by Millet, I don’t know whether I’ve already written to you about it. When I entered the room in Hôtel Drouot where they were exhibited, I felt something akin to: Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground [Exodus 3:5]."
  • Letter 156 to Theo van Gogh. Cuesmes, Friday, 20 August 1880. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "You should know that I’m sketching large drawings after Millet, and that I’ve done The four times of the day as well as The sower"
  • Letter 157 to Theo van Gogh. Cuesmes, Tuesday, 7 September 1880. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "As for The sower,I’ve drawn it 5 times now, twice small, 3 times large, and yet I’ll go back to it again, that figure haunts me so."
  • Letter 166 to Theo van Gogh. Etten, on or about Saturday, 30 April or Sunday, 1 May 1881. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "Meanwhile I’ve started on the Millets, The sower [presumably this drawing F830] is finished and the 4 times of the day sketched. And now still to come are The labours of the field."
