Portrait Of Armand Roulin 1888

Vincent van Gogh's *Portrait of Armand Roulin* (1888) is a striking example of his Post-Impressionist style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and vibrant color. The portrait depicts Armand Roulin, the son of the postman Joseph Roulin, who was a friend and frequent subject of Van Gogh's during his time in Arles. Roulin is depicted in a somber mood, his gaze directed downward, and his clothing and hat are painted in a dark palette against a bright green background, highlighting his contemplative expression. The thick paint application adds a textural element to the piece, further emphasizing the subject's brooding presence.
