介绍（中）	1883年7月，梵高决定第二次尝试石版印刷术。这是他那年夏天创作的两幅版画之一，还有《燃烧的杂草》（2021.242）。在这些作品中，他在光滑的转印纸上使用了一支精细的笔，在转印到石版石和随后的印刷品的保真度方面遇到了一些困难。因此，他用钢笔和墨水对印刷品进行了广泛的润色，在黑暗的树节中最为明显。他对这一主题的灵感来自于他在参观时观察和绘制的一个场景在一家养老院，后来他在当时最喜欢的模特Adrianus Jacobus Zuyderland的帮助下重新装修了这家养老院。艺术家在这个时候反复处理农民工挖掘的主题。这突出了他对法国画家让-弗朗索瓦·米勒的欣赏，他的作品《挖掘者》（57.531.18）早在1880年11月他就复制了。
介绍（英）	In July 1883, Van Gogh decided to try his hand at lithography for a second time. This is one of two prints he produced that summer along with "Burning Weeds" (2021.242). For these works, he used a fine pen on smooth transfer paper and encountered some difficulty with the fidelity of the transfer to the lithographic stone and subsequent printing. Consequently, he touched up the print extensively with pen and ink, most evident here in the dark knots of the tree. His inspiration for the subject was a scene he observed and sketched while visiting a retirement home, which he later restaged with the help of his favorite model from the period, Adrianus Jacobus Zuyderland. The artist treated the motif of the peasant laborer digging repeatedly at this time. It highlights his appreciation for the French painter Jean-François Millet, whose composition "The Diggers" (57.531.18) he copied as early as November 1880.
