This is a drawing of Sien, the former prostitute who shared a home with Van (iogh for a time while he was in The Hague. When Van Gogh took her in she was pregnant and addicted to drink. He was determined to save her from wretchedness and ill health, and after the baby arrived acted as its father. Their association ended when Van Gogh ran out of funds and returned to his parents; Sien, under the influence of her mother, reverted to her previous life as a prostitute.
