La Berceuse is a 1895 oil by Vincent van Gogh, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Augustine Roulin, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, dressed in a green dress with her hands clasped together in her lap. She is holding a rope that is attached to a cradle, which is not visible in the image. The woman's face is painted in a yellow tone, and her hair is pulled back into a bun. The background of the painting is dark, with swirling patterns of green and yellow. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the woman's gentle expression and the soothing colors of the background creating a sense of peace. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Vincent van Gogh, who was known for his bold and expressive use of color.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.
