- The paining is after a photograph here. The photograph annoyed Vincent, so he made a copy of it.
- The painting was in the collection of Carl Moll until at least 1914 and can be, seen in his Self Portrait in his Study hanging on the wall.
- Letters
- Letter 699: To Theo van Gogh. Arles, Monday, 8 October 1888. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "That’s to say, I’m doing portrait of our mother for myself. I can’t look at the colourless photograph. And I’m trying to do one with harmonious colour, as I see her in my memory."
- Letter 700: To Theo van Gogh. Arles, Tuesday, 9/Wednesday, 10 October 1888. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "I’m working on a portrait of our mother. Because the black photograph was making me too impatient.
Ah, what portraits we could make from life with photography and painting! I always have hopes that a great revolution still awaits us in portraiture."
