“In this hug and this kiss, the audience foresees the pain for an imminent and inevitable departure: after the heartbreaking goodbye, the youg lady will be left alone, full of nostalgia, wallowing herself in her melancholic wait,  overcome with the dread of never seeing her beloved again.”  (Giuseppe Nifosì)

The only person who ever bought one of Van Gogh’s art while he was living was also a woman, an impressionist artist named Anna Boch.
