Setting out in the morning: the woman sits sideways on the donkey with a basket, the man walks behind with a pitchfork on his shoulder, and beyond them people are already at work in the fields. Between late October 1889 and January 1890 Van Gogh painted all four of Millet’s The Four Times of the Day from prints; this is Morning. In January 1890 he wrote that working from Millet’s black-and-white was “rather translating into another language, the one of colours.”
