A red versus emerald
The kepi is the hottest accent on the canvas. Its complementary color of the green background immediately detaches the head.

Vincent van Gogh · End of September - beginning of October 1888 · Arles
Red kepi, black uniform and confident look: second lieutenant Paul-Eugène Milliet stands out against an emerald green marked with the crescent and star of his regiment.
Look at the work
Paul-Eugène Milliet serves as a second lieutenant in a Zouave regiment. In Arles, he sometimes accompanied Van Gogh, took some drawing lessons from him and shared his outings. The artist represents him in bust, strictly frontal, in a uniform whose braids, buttons and medal are treated as graphic signs.
The orange-red of the kepi contrasts with an emerald green background constructed by thick curved touches. In the upper corner, a crescent and a five-pointed star refer to Milliet's regiment. The face, painted more finely, remains the calm point between these powerful contrasts.
Van Gogh nicknamed this portrait "The Lover": Milliet became less of an official model than the image of an elegant man, confident and admired for his romantic adventures.
Composition, touch and color
The strength of F473 comes from the very clear separation between the pale face, the almost black uniform, the red kepi and the saturated green background.
The kepi is the hottest accent on the canvas. Its complementary color of the green background immediately detaches the head.
The face is formed of fine and light touches, while the background receives a wide and thick material which revolves around the silhouette.
These two signs in the upper corner are not an imaginary setting: they identify Milliet's membership in a Zouave regiment.
Documented benchmarks
The Kroeller-Müller Museum notice and the letter of September 29, 1888 identify the model, date, colors and emblems of F473/JH1588.
The young second lieutenant frequented Van Gogh in Arles and transported a shipment of paintings when he reached Paris in the fall of 1888.
Van Gogh ironically admired Milliet's sentimental ease and conceived his portrait as the very type of lover.
Helene Kroeller-Müller acquired the painting in 1912; it is today kept in the Otterlo museum.
Your reproduction
Reproduction must preserve the finesse of the face, the depth of the uniform and the very visible material of the background without darkening the military details.

The vertical format and deep green bring a strong presence to an office, library or living room. The red of the kepi responds particularly well to warm wood and leather.
