Woman in Profile in Front of Van Gogh's Sunflowers is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch painter Isaac Israëls, from 1918.
They were one his famous series Sunflowers, now held in the National Gallery, in London, and The Yellow House in Arles, where he lived, now in the Van Gogh Museum, in Amsterdam.
At the end of 1921, on Jodjana's advice, Israëls traveled to the Dutch East Indies to draw and paint there for over a year.
[3] The current painting is primarily intended as a study in contrasts, but also shows Israëls' admiration for Van Gogh's' French work, which was not yet widely appreciated at the time in the Netherlands.
Nevertheless, he does not copy Van Gogh's work, but uses the same colours in his typical impressionist style, with his characteristic broad and flat brushstroke.
