Van Gogh planned to make a new version of The Potato Eaters. Interior with Ten Figures is one of his sketches for this project. Here you see eight people at a table and two others walking around. There are only five people in the original painting. He was experimenting with the number of figures.

Vincent had just come out of a severe crisis when he made this drawing. In a letter, he asked his brother Theo to send him his earlier sketches. The new version of The Potato Eaters was never painted.
