''L'Arlésienne'', ''L'Arlésienne: Madame Ginoux'', or ''Portrait of Madame Ginoux'' is the title given to a group of six similar paintings by Vincent van Gogh, painted in Arles, November 1888 (or later), and in Saint-Rémy, February 1890. L'Arlésienne is pronounced 'lar lay zyen'; it means literally "the woman from Arles". The subject, ''Marie Jullian'' (or ''Julien''), was born in Arles June 8, 1848 and died there August 2, 1911. She married ''Joseph-Michel Ginoux'' in 1866 and together they ran the ''Café de la Gare'', 30 Place Lamartine, where Van Gogh lodged from May to mid-September 1888. He had the Yellow House in Arles furnished to settle there. Evidently until this time, Van Gogh's relations to M. and Mme. Ginoux had remained more or less commercial (the café is the subject of ''The Night Café''), but Gauguin's arrival in Arles altered the situation. His courtship charmed the lady, then about 40 years of age, and in the first few days of November 1888 (November 1, or more probably November 2) Madame Ginoux agreed to have a portrait session for Paul Gauguin, and his friend Van Gogh. Within an hour, Gauguin produced a charcoal drawing while Vincent produced a full-scale painting, "knocked off in ''one'' hour". ==November 1888 version and its ''repetition''== Van Gogh's first version, now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, is painted on burlap. A complete ''piece'' of this fabric was acquired by Gauguin just after his arrival in Arles, and used by both artists in November and December 1888.〔Letter; see Druick & Seghers〕 Image:LArlesienneWithGlovesAndUmbrella.jpg|''L'Arlésienne'': Madame Ginoux with gloves and umbrella.
