Sketch of The sower

Van Gogh was a great admirer of Jean-François Millet’s masterwork The sower. This theme intrigued him throughout his artistic career, and he painted and drew a number of sowers. In this letter he writes to Theo about the painting he is working on, with an immense lemon yellow disc for the sun", with a sketch of the work in progress."
