  • F927: Faille, Jacob Baart de la (1970) [1928] The Works of Vincent van Gogh. His Paintings and Drawings, Amsterdam: J.M. Meulenhoff, no. 927 .
  • JH161 : Jan Hulsker (1980), The Complete Van Gogh, Oxford: Phaidon, no.  161.
  • De La Faille dates the drawing as summer 1882, as does Hulsker quoting letter 251 (Hulsker p. 54). However the editors at http://vangoghletters.org give it as February 1883 in letter 306, quoting exhib. cat. The Hague 1990, pp. 33-34 for its identification.
  • Letters
  • Letter 251 to Theo van Gogh. The Hague, Wednesday, 26 July 1882. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "I also have a second of the Rijswijk meadows in which the same subject takes on an entirely different aspect through being seen from a different height and viewpoint. [Hulsker thought this F927, the present drawing. The editors (n. 6) think it is F943 (Rooftops)]"
  • Letter 306 to Theo van Gogh. The Hague, Saturday, 3 February 1883. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "I’ve nevertheless been working on a watercolour sketch, again of diggers, or rather road-menders, here in Schenkweg, but it’s no good."
  • Letter 322 to Theo van Gogh. The Hague, on or about Friday, 2 March 1883. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "You will now have received, at least I sent it yesterday afternoon, a very rough sketch of a watercolour. This in answer to your question about it.
    Yet it wasn’t done just now. I began it a few months ago, and since then it has had a lick or two now and again. Has remained in a rough-hewn state, though. I’ve since done many studies, that is drawings, of figures and especially of heads too. Precisely with an eye to such scenes as this sketch depicts, in which the finishing consists of putting texture and character into the heads, hands and feet especially."
