Madame Roulin and Her Baby
Vincent van Gogh
Madame Roulin and Her Baby, 1888
Oil on canvas
Courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Perfect for welcoming a new baby or celebrating Mother's Day, this portrait pulses with the confusion of being welcomed into a new world. Against a blazing yellow background, Van Gogh renders both mother and child with expressive force, distilling their bond into something almost mythic. The mood is sentimental, earthy, and boldly affectionate.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
