Soon after Gauguin's departure, van Gogh started painting small series of pictures in which a single subject gives rise to various stylistic speculations. The five versions of La Berceuse include sometimes tiny variations in colour or in the arrangement of the background. He got into the habit of doing one or more repetitions based on an initial picture painted from the life. ## 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]()
