A woman with reddish hair sits in a wooden armchair facing us, her hands folded in her lap and a rope running from them down past her knees. She wears a dark green jacket over a lighter green skirt. Behind her, a dark blue wall is patterned with orange dots, curling green tendrils and large white and pink flowers, above a band of red. Writing runs along the arm of the chair.

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890) painted this oil on canvas in January 1889; its full title is Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle (La berceuse), and it is one of five versions of the image. The museum notes that Augustine Roulin rocks a cradle by pulling on a rope, and that Van Gogh described his palette as a "lullaby in colors." The Art Institute of Chicago holds the painting.

Lab-printed to order on luster photo paper, in a 4:5 format: 8×10, 16×20, 24×30 and 40×50 inches. Its upright portrait shape suits a living room, a hallway or a dining room wall.
