Description
[edit ]The painting was produced by Van Gogh six months after the artist moved from Paris to the town of Arles. In town, Van Gogh became acquainted with Joseph Roulin, a local postman, and would go one to render multiple paintings of the Roulin family; this series of works in commonly referred to as The Roulin Family .[1]
Madame Roulin and Her Baby is one of several works by Van Gogh that depict the infant Marcelle Roulin. One source names the painting as featuring Marcelle when she was three months old.[2] The Metropolitan Museum of Art's profile of the work describes the painting as being "vigorously painted", with thick brush strokes being used to capture the infant's expression.[1]
