About the piece

Painted in 1888 during his time in Arles, this striking portrait by Vincent van Gogh depicts a member of the Zouave infantry regiment. The composition showcases Van Gogh’s fascination with color theory, juxtaposing vibrant reds and deep blues against a neutral, textured background with his signature thick, rhythmic brushwork.
