Description
From an Original Color Painting
This is a reproduction of the famous painting "Portrait of Adeline Ravoux" by the Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh.
Painted in June 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, the subject is 13-year-old Adeline Ravoux, the daughter of the innkeeper where Van Gogh lodged during the last months of his life.
Key Details
Artist: Vincent van Gogh
Date: June 1890
Medium: Oil on canvas
Location: The version in the image is one of several Van Gogh painted; a well-known version is housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Another version (with the green dress and dark background) is in a private collection.
Context: Van Gogh sought to express the "impassioned aspects" of his subjects through color rather than a simple photographic resemblance. Adeline later recalled not being pleased with the portrait initially, as she felt it did not resemble her, but changed her opinion as an adult, believing Van Gogh saw the woman she would become. The background features white roses, which likely symbolize her purity or innocence.
