🖼 Portrait of Milliet, Second Lieutnant of the Zouaves, September 1888, Arles
Oil on canvas
60 × 49 cm

Vivid brushstrokes capture a uniformed officer in three-quarter view, his intense gaze meeting ours against a boldly colored background. Van Gogh's expressive technique and friendship with Milliet reveal his psychological intensity and ability to convey personality through dynamic color and form.
