Look at the work

A friend from Arles in his uniform

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

Three observations specific to this painting

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.

01

The cap identifies the profession

The word "POSTS" in yellow and the red banner make the function of the model immediately readable.

02

The beard becomes a field of color

Brown, green, blue and ocher mingle in long touches that give volume and movement.

03

The turquoise background brings the face closer

Its almost plain surface advances the warm tones of the cheeks and the dark blues of the uniform.

Documented benchmarks

Precisely identify the original work

The Detroit Institute of Arts notice documents one of six known portraits of Joseph Roulin painted between July 1888 and April 1889.
