 | Description |  |
In fall and winter 1889-1890, while a voluntary patient at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh painted twenty-one copies after Millet, an artist he greatly admired. He considered his copies improvisations or translations akin to a musician's interpretation of a composer's work. For this work, Van Gogh squared up a photograph of Millet First Steps, which he then transferred to the canvas.
