"The Picture Frame"

When I watched "The Picture Frame" this morning, I noticed the painting in the jail cell (jail cells aren't wont to have paintings):


This lookt like a Vincent Van Gogh painting to me, so I did some research.  It's one of several versions of Van Gogh's "La Berceuse," painted between late 1888 and early 1889.

Here's a version from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston:


Here's a version from the Met (with the notable difference of the hands' being folded the opposite direction):


I lookt at some other versions, but I couldn't positively identify which version was used in "The Picture Frame."  Whichever version was used, I'm sure it was a reproduction and not the original painting.
