In May 1890, Van Gogh arrived in Auvers, a small town north of Paris, where he rented a room at the inn of Arthur Ravoux. This portrait, completed during the last months of the Artist’s life, depicts Ravoux?s 16-year-old daughter, Adeline. Van Gogh wrote that rather than photographic resemblance, he wanted his portraits to convey the –impassioned aspects” of contemporary life through the –modern taste for color.”
