The third version, in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, painted freehand without a tracing between 30 January and 3 February 1889. Augustine sits before floral wallpaper and holds the cradle cord as it drops out of the frame; the chair arm reads Vincent Arles 89 and La Berceuse is written on the floor. This is the one the Roulins chose from the first three versions.
