About the piece

Created in 1888, 'La Berceuse' (The Lullaby) is one of Vincent van Gogh's most recognized portraits, depicting Augustine Roulin. The work showcases Van Gogh's signature impasto technique and expressive use of color, placing the somber, steady figure of the sitter against a vibrant, decorative background that suggests both movement and comfort.
