The artwork, titled “Portrait of Madame Trabuc,” was created by the renowned artist Vincent van Gogh in 1889 in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. This oil on canvas painting, which belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement, measures 63.7 by 48 cm. It is a portrait and currently resides in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The artwork captures a side profile of Madame Trabuc, who is depicted with meticulous detail. Her somber expression is highlighted by the use of bold brush strokes and a muted color palette. The background, painted in soft, swirling strokes of pastel colors, contrasts elegantly with the darker tones of her dress and hair. The intricate details in her attire, particularly the floral embellishment, showcase Van Gogh’s ability to blend precision with the distinctive style of Post-Impressionism.
