| Description |  |
While in Arles, Van Gogh painted two very similar portraits of Madame Ginoux, the proprietress of the Café de la Gare. The first version, which he described in a letter of November 1888 as an "Arlésienne ... slashed on in an hour", must be the more thinly and summarily executed portrait in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. In it a parasol and gloves lies on the table instead of books. This portrait may have been painted for the sitter just before Van Gogh left Arles in May 1899.
