The Zouave is a compelling subject in Vincent van Gogh's collection created during his time in Arles, France, in June 1888. Van Gogh produced various works featuring the Zouave, ranging from close-up Oil Portraits to full-body drawings, capturing the soldier's distinctive uniform and intense expression. These pieces exemplify his mastery on Canvas and reflect his unique interpretation of Post-impressionism.
