Van Gogh copied this work from a print of Newgate Prison, London, by Gustave Dore. It may have been influenced by how Van Gogh felt while a patient at the hospital in St-Remy and by the poor condition of the other inmates. As he wrote to his brother Theo, 'My surroundings here begin to weigh on me...I can't go on, I am at the end of my patience.' However, he managed to turn his attention to his work and produced many powerful pieces during this period.
