Not coincidentally, Van Gogh completed this portrait in the same period as his sunflower series. In a letter to his brother Theo, he wrote that portrait studies such as these were "the only thing in painting that excites me to the depths of my soul, and which makes me feel the infinite more than anything else." A "mousemé" is a term for a young Japanese girl that appears in Pierre Loti's Madame Chrysanthème; the story of a naval officer who marries a geisha while stationed in Nagasaki, Japan. Japanese culture had a major influence upon French art during the 19th century, and Van Gogh, an avid collector of Japanese prints, was one of its most important ambassadors.
