Van Gogh was fascinated with painting peasant imagery and especially that of sowers, often depicted as a lone figure with one arm broadly outstretched walking across a flat field. His lifelong interest was partly a response to the work of the romantic Realist painters such as Jean-François Millet, and a reflection of his own ideals. The sower in particular represented the eternal cycle of agricultural life, which Van Gogh thought was an honorable way to live
The sun was also a symbolic element for Van Gogh, and in many of these paintings it shines with an unearthly luminescence. Here he has created a great orb of light, from which short precise brushstrokes radiate outwards so that the whole sky becomes bathed in golden rags. The rest of the canvas is made up of short, quick brushstrokes that lend the ground a textured and slightly surreal feel. Barely perceptible are two crows that emerge from the fractured background, while the figure appears to be part and parcel of the land on which he works.
