The reason it is not as well known as other paintings by Van Gogh is probably because it’s actually a « copy » of a drawing by Jean-François Millet, an artist he admired greatly.
I put copy in quotation marks because the two artworks are very different. Van Gogh made 21 copies after Millet’s works from the asylum in Saint-Remy, and he called them « translations ».
The original title of the painting posted by op is actually First steps, after Millet.
Here’s the drawing that inspired him :
First steps, c. 1859-66, Jean-François Millet
