Painting of a dark-haired woman resting her head on her hand at a green table beside open books, against a bright yellow background.

L'Arlésienne (Madame Ginoux) by Vincent van Gogh, 1888

A woman with dark hair pulled back under a blue ribbon rests her cheek on one hand at a green table, her body turned toward the viewer's left. Thick, visible brushstrokes define a white lace collar, dark blue dress, and open turquoise and orange books against a saturated yellow background.
