Biography
French infant who, along with her family, was painted by Vincent Van Gogh in 1888 at Arles. The family included her postman father Joseph Roulin; her mother, Augustine; and her two siblings. Van Gogh described the family as "really French, even if they look like Russians." In exchange for their work as models, Van Gogh gave the Roulins one painting for each family member.
Marcelle Roulin, the youngest child in the family, was four months old when Van Gogh made her portraits. She died on 22 February 1980 at age 91.
She was painted three times by herself and twice on her mother’s lap. The three works of her as a single figure show the same head and shoulders image of Marcelle with her chubby cheeks and arms against a green background.
