Portrait of Adeline Ravoux by Vincent van Gogh
Portrait of Adeline Ravoux (1890)
Vincent van Gogh | Post-Impressionism | Oil on canvas
A girl in a blue dress, with a blue ribbon in her hair, turns her face to the side against a dark background of green leaves and white flowers. She is Adeline Ravoux, whose father ran the inn in Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, where Van Gogh rented a room in May 1890. He painted her during the last months of his life. Van Gogh guessed she was about sixteen, but she was really almost thirteen.
Did you know? Young Adeline did not like this portrait and did not think it looked like her. But a photograph of her taken in her late seventies shows a truly remarkable resemblance!
