Portrait of Camille Roulin

Portrait of Camille Roulin Nederland Vincent van Gogh Gallery and Appreciation

Camille Roulin, the middle child, was born in Lambesc in southern France, on 10 July 1877, and died on 4 June 1922. When his father had to answer to letters, he served as his secretary. When his portrait was painted, Camille was eleven years of age. The Van Gogh Museum painting[18] shows Camille's head and shoulders. Yellow brush strokes behind him are evocative of the sun. The very similar painting resides at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (F537).
