Existence of a (weak) antiderivative for any given $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n, \mathbb{R}^n)$

Let $f : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$ be an integrable function. Then, I wonder if there exists any integrable $F : \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ such that \begin{equation} \nabla F = f \end{equation} where $\nabla F$ is understood as the weak gradient on $\mathbb{R}^n$.

For $n=1$, it seems quite straightforward by integration on the real line. However, I do not see how I can extend to $n>1$. Could anyone help me?
