A man in blue bends over a sheaf of wheat, hugging it tight to bind it; behind him rise the stacked sheaves under a pale green-blue sky. The subject is one of the ten prints of Millet’s The Labours of the Field. In September 1889 Van Gogh wrote that he had copied seven of them; the editors of the letters count The Sheaf-Binder among the seven.
