Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle
Original Title: La Berceuse
Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)
Period: Post-Impressionism
Genre: Portrait
Date: January 1889
Medium: Oil Paint
Subject: Augustine Roulin
Collection: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Massachusetts
Vincent van Gogh saw in Augustine Roulin-along with her husband, Joseph, and their children-a model of love and family life. In this portrait, Roulin rocks a cradle by pulling on a rope. The title La Berceuse (the lullaby) suggests a consoling figure, and the artist described his palette as a soothing “lullaby in colors.”
Van Gogh painted five versions of this image. He completed this one in January 1889, soon after returning from his stay in the hospital following Paul Gauguin’s fraught departure. Madame Roulin sits in Gauguin’s chair, an attempt by Van Gogh to fill the space left by the older artist. In May 1889, Van Gogh gave this canvas to Gauguin as a gesture of reconciliation and friendship, instructing that it be hung between two paintings of sunflowers.

Now... would you have this dance?
A TON of similar shots [facing camera, offering hand] under the cut, with subtle expression/angle differences. again, the magic pumpkins emote is a GOLDMINE.
the finale shot? well if you're thirsty, it might make you collapse.
and finally? a low, LOW angle.
