Strict frontality
The look, nose, beard and visor are almost symmetrical. This stability gives the model a calm and monumental presence.

Vincent van Gogh · February -March 1889 · Arles
Joseph Roulin faces the viewer in his blue uniform, his beard in blonde curls standing out against a green background strewn with poppies, blueberries, daisies and roses.
Look at the work
Roulin is represented at mid-bust, very frontal. The cap marked "POSTS" and the golden buttons identify his profession; the blue collar and shoulders form a stable base, while the light face and green eyes directly catch the eye.
Around the head, the flowers do not make up a realistic bouquet: they are distributed on the background like a decoration. Red poppies, blueberries, daisies and roses contrast with the large concentric curls of the beard.
F439 is one of three portraits of Roulin with a flowery background and the most spring-like: the precision of the small flowers responds to a faster and more fluid execution of the face and the uniform.
Composition, touch and color
The Kroeller-Müller Museum places this painting among six successive portraits of the postman and recalls that Van Gogh painted around twenty paintings by the entire Roulin family.
The look, nose, beard and visor are almost symmetrical. This stability gives the model a calm and monumental presence.
The wicks are organized into gray, yellow and blue spirals, very different from the more precise treatment of small flowers.
The green background works like wallpaper: flowers float around the face and transform the portrait into an emblem of friendship.
Documented benchmarks
KM 103.101 and references F439/JH1673 distinguish this flowery portrait of the Boston Roulin F432 and versions preserved at MoMA, Detroit, Winterthur and the Barnes Foundation.
Roulin worked at Arles station and helped Van Gogh ship his paintings to Theo. Their relationship quickly went beyond just postal service.
Van Gogh painted six portraits of the postman between August 1888 and spring 1889, including three versions decorated with flowers.
The museum identifies poppies, blueberries, daisies and roses, painted with more precision than the face and beard.
Your reproduction
Reproduction must maintain the balance between strict frontality, the fluid material of the beard and the sharpness of the floral decoration, without making the face artificially symmetrical.
