Vincent van Gogh · Early August 1888 · Arles
Joseph-Étienne Roulin, postman and friend of Van Gogh in Arles, appears in bust in his blue uniform. His cap marked "POSTS", his abundant beard and his clear gaze stand out against a turquoise background.
Look at the work
The bust fills almost the entire canvas. Broad shoulders and golden buttons form a stable base, while the slightly inclined cap crowns the face.
The deep blue of the uniform contrasts with the sea green background. Orange, pink and green touches shape the face and beard without uniform local color.
Painted in Arles in early August 1888, this oil portrait on canvas measures 65 × 50.5 cm. It is F433/JH1524 and is numbered 1996.25 at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Composition, touch and color
Van Gogh focuses attention on physiognomy and uniform. The simplicity of the background makes the mixture of firmness, kindness and fatigue in Roulin's eyes more visible.
The word "POSTS" in yellow and the red banner make the function of the model immediately readable.
Brown, green, blue and ocher mingle in long touches that give volume and movement.
Its almost plain surface advances the warm tones of the cheeks and the dark blues of the uniform.
Documented benchmarks
The Detroit Institute of Arts notice documents one of six known portraits of Joseph Roulin painted between July 1888 and April 1889.
Born in 1841, the postman became a faithful friend of Van Gogh in Arles, who also painted his wife Augustine and their children.
Van Gogh describes to Theo Roulin's high forehead, red cheeks, small gray eyes and large salt-and-pepper beard.
The painting was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Buhl Ford II and bears inventory number 1996.25.
Your reproduction
The copy must preserve the clear look, the multiple colors of the beard, the inscription of the cap and the depth of the blue of the uniform.
