This lithograph is based on a drawing which exists in several versions. To the drawing representing a woman in a desolate landscape van Gogh added a few scraggy branches in blossom and some flowers appear to allude to hope. Several months later, when he made the lithograph, van Gogh evidently realised that this embellishment was unnecessary, and he used a simple version of Sorrow, with its almost featureless setting. There are three known impression of the print. ## Related artworks - [A Cottage on the Heath and "The Protestant Barn"]() - [A Lane in the Public Garden at Arles]() - [A Meadow in the Mountains: Le Mas de Saint-Paul]() - [A Pair of Leather Clogs]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Workman's Meal-Break]() - [Agostina Segatori in the Café du Tambourin]() - [Almond Tree in Blossom]() - [Apricot Trees in Blossom]() - [At Eternity's Gate \("Worn Out"\)]() - [Avenue of Plane Trees near Arles Station]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
