About the piece

Created in Arles in 1888, this portrait depicts the Belgian painter Eugène Boch. Van Gogh famously juxtaposed the warm ochre of the sitter's jacket with a nocturnal background reminiscent of his starry sky motifs, using complementary colors to create a sense of poetic mystery and intensity.
