Agostina Segatori was the owner of the Café du Tambourin in Montmrtre, a favourite place of Parisian artists. She sat for van Gogh a few times. In fact the only nudes van Gogh ever painted in oil were of her. In this portrait van Gogh's Japonism draws upon resources that have little to do with qualities of the sitter. The perfect imitation of the surface effect of what was called Japanese paper is remarkable as is the purely decorative quality of the colours. ## Related artworks - [A Cottage on the Heath and "The Protestant Barn"]() - [A Lane in the Public Garden at Arles]() - [A Meadow in the Mountains: Le Mas de Saint-Paul]() - [A Pair of Leather Clogs]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Pair of Shoes]() - [A Workman's Meal-Break]() - [Agostina Segatori in the Café du Tambourin]() - [Almond Tree in Blossom]() - [Apricot Trees in Blossom]() - [At Eternity's Gate \("Worn Out"\)]() - [Avenue of Plane Trees near Arles Station]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
