Van Gogh asked his mother and his brother to send him drawings and rough work he had done in the early 1880s so he could work on new paintings from his old sketches.
Van Gogh annesine ve kardeşine 1880'lerin başında çalıştığı çizim ve eskizlerini göndermelerini yazdı, böylece eski çizimlerinden yararlanarak yeni tablolar yapmak istiyordu.
