Portrait of Patience Escalier

Portrait of Patience Escalier Nederland Vincent van Gogh Gallery and Appreciation

Patience Escalier was a gardener and a shephard by trade, and his portrait the result of Van Gogh's desire to paint an older peasant who resembled his father in features.

There are two versions of this portrait. One held by the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California, and the other in the private collection of Philip Niarchos.
