About the piece
Painted in 1888, this portrait depicts Armand Roulin, the eldest son of the Arles postman Joseph Roulin, a close friend of Vincent van Gogh. The work is celebrated for its bold use of color, pitting the deep navy of the subject's clothing against a vibrant, textured green backdrop that vibrates with the artist's signature rhythmic brushwork.
