"Le fumeur" (The Smoker) is an 1888 painting by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. The work is part of a series of paintings and drawings created by Van Gogh during his time in Paris between 1886 and 1888, a period when he was heavily influenced by the Impressionists and the color theories of Charles Blanc and Eugène Delacroix. This painting reflects Van Gogh's exploration of everyday life and his interest in depicting the working-class individuals, including peasants and laborers, which was a recurring theme throughout his artistic career.

The painting features a male figure, presumably a peasant, engaged in the act of smoking a pipe. The subject is rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant palette that became characteristic of Van Gogh's style during his Paris period. The use of contrasting colors and the dynamic application of paint are indicative of the artist's move away from the darker tones of his earlier Dutch works and towards the brighter hues that would later define his work in the South of France.

"Le fumeur" is notable for its portrayal of the smoker's rugged features and the contemplative mood evoked by the composition. The painting's emphasis on the sensory experience, particularly the taste and smell associated with smoking, is a testament to Van Gogh's interest in synesthesia and his desire to capture more than just the visual aspect of a scene.

As with many of Van Gogh's works, "Le fumeur" is not just a simple representation of a smoker but a complex study of color, form, and emotion. The painting is a reflection of the artist's ongoing quest to convey the essence of his subjects through a unique and innovative artistic language. Today, "Le fumeur" is considered an important work within Van Gogh's oeuvre, illustrating the transitional phase of his artistic development during his stay in Paris.
