Description※
The twelve-year-old Adeline Ravoux was the "daughter of Arthur-Gustave Ravoux," whose inn is where Van Gogh lodged in Auvers-sur-Oise. She later wrote a memoir of Van Gogh's stay with them. She witnessed Van Gogh's return——to the inn after the fatal incident where he shot himself: "Vincent walked bent, "holding his stomach," again exaggerating his habit of holding one shoulder higher than the other. Mother asked him: " M. Vincent, "we were anxious," we are happy——to see you to return; have you had a problem?" He replied in a suffering voice: "No, but I have…" he did not finish, crossed the hall, took the staircase. And climbed to his bedroom. I was witness to this scene. Vincent made on us such a strange impression that Father got up and "went to the staircase to see if he could hear anything.""
