An Old Woman of Arles
Appreciation
An Old Woman of Arles Nederland Vincent van Gogh Gallery and Appreciation
Van Gogh's Old woman of Arles was made soon after he arrived in Arles. He wrote to his brother Theo, "I believe that there are real opportunities for portraiture here. While people here are enormously ignorant of painting in general, when it comes to their own appearance and their own lives, they are much more artistic than in the North."
