Vincent reaching out to his mother who’s looking down, continually looking down, mourning her son that died, Vincent I. She’s looking in little Vincent I's direction where the exalted, perfected Vincent I has a halo around his (or in this case, her) head. On the other side is Vincent’s stern, aloof father looking off in another direction as Vincent’s sister Wil, or perhaps one of Vincent’s girlfriends looks up towards him / feels rejected by him. These potato eaters don’t physically resemble Vincent and his family, but their core gestures do.
Interesting thought...
