L'Arlésienne


When Humbert Humbert first sets foot in the Haze household, he mentions, "that banal darling of the arty middle class, van Gogh's "Arlésienne" (36). I was curious to know what painting this was exactly. There are several paintings with the same title painted of Madame Ginoux who ran the Yellow House at which Van Gogh spent some time; she also posed for Gauguin as well.
