Portrait of a Peasant (1888, Patience Escalier) by Vincent van Gogh depicts a sunburnt and weather-beaten Provençal peasant, gazing intensely out of the canvas. Patience Escalier, "formerly a cowhand in the Camargue, now a gardener at one of the farms in La Crau," sat as a portrait model for Vincent in Arles. The portrait represents a change in his work towards a much more vibrant use of color, here an almost unreal depiction of yellows, blues, greens and reds. Vincent wrote to his brother, Theo: "Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more arbitrarily, in order to express myself with force."
