"The Peasant, Portrait of Patience Escalier" is an oil painting by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. Completed in August 1888, the work is one of Van Gogh's most celebrated portraits from his time in Arles, in the south of France. The painting depicts Patience Escalier, a seasoned shepherd and farmer, whose weathered and sunburnt face reflects the harsh realities of rural labor under the Provençal sun.

Van Gogh was deeply inspired by the local landscape and the people of Arles, and he sought to capture the essence of peasant life in his work. In this portrait, Escalier is portrayed with a striking intensity, his gaze direct and unwavering. The artist's use of bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes conveys the rugged character of his subject, while also reflecting Van Gogh's own emotional state and artistic evolution during this period.

The painting is notable for its vivid color palette, which includes the bright yellows and oranges of Escalier's straw hat—a motif that recurs in Van Gogh's work and symbolizes the heat and light of the sun. The use of complementary colors, such as the blues in the background, enhances the visual impact of the portrait and demonstrates Van Gogh's interest in color theory and its expressive possibilities.

"The Peasant, Portrait of Patience Escalier" is a testament to Van Gogh's empathy for the working class and his desire to dignify their toil through art. The work is held in high regard for its powerful representation of an individual's character and its contribution to the genre of peasant portraiture, which was a significant theme in 19th-century art. Today, the painting is housed in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and study for its artistic and historical significance.
