In the spring of 1888, having recently moved to the town of Arles in the south of France, Vincent van Gogh decided to make portraits of some of the natives. The bright white base color and smooth matte finish allows for the highest quality reproduction possible. Printed with archival-quality pigment inks on high-resolution, large-format twelve-color printers, the substrate is an acid-free and lignin-free 230gsm coated fine art paper. Here, the artist concentrated on Roulin's head, which he described in a letter as 'somewhat like Socrates, hardly any nose at all, a high forehead, bald crown, little gray eyes, bright red chubby cheeks, a big pepper-and-salt beard, large eyes.' Between late July 1888 and April 1889, he painted at least six portraits of Joseph-Etienne Roulin (1841–1903), a postman in Arles. In February 1888 Van Gogh moved to Arles, in the south of France, and continued to paint landscapes and portraits. Van Gogh went there frequently to send paintings to his brother Theo in the Netherlands and they. The original oil on canvas work is in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Joseph Roulin worked as the postmaster at the station in Arles.
