About the piece
Painted in 1888 during his time in Arles, Vincent van Gogh's 'La Mousmé' depicts a young Provençal girl. The work is celebrated for its bold juxtaposition of patterns—the vertical red and blue stripes of the jacket against the orange polka dots of the skirt—and the radiant mint-green background that exemplifies the artist's masterful use of color and impasto technique.
