A mother and child in Van Gogh’s Arles period

Madame Roulin and Her Baby is one of Van Gogh’s most touching family portraits. Painted in 1888 in Arles, it shows Augustine Roulin holding her infant daughter Marcelle. The work belongs to the celebrated series of portraits Van Gogh made of the Roulin family, whose warmth and loyalty meant a great deal to him.

Van Gogh did not treat portraiture as a matter of mere resemblance. He wanted to express character, feeling and human presence. In this painting, the calm strength of the mother and the alert expression of the baby create an image that feels both intimate and monumental.

Vigorous brushwork, deep affection

The painting combines bold outlines, rich color contrasts and energetic brushwork with remarkable tenderness. Madame Roulin appears steady and protective, while baby Marcelle brings a note of freshness and new life. That contrast gives the painting much of its charm.

Van Gogh had formed a close bond with the Roulin family after arriving in Arles, and he painted them repeatedly. In Madame Roulin and Her Baby, that personal connection can still be felt. It is not an official portrait, but a warm and deeply human one.
