Van Gogh painted several versions of paintings with the theme of the sower under the setting sun. In this version, the bright unnatural colors and the unusual composition of the painting are particularly interesting, in which a gnarled tree in the foreground diagonally divides the painting into two parts.
Van Gogh most likely drew inspiration for this painting from the Japanese art of printing.
