Philppa World - The French Cowgirl: The Arlesienne


Now that you met the French Cowboy...
Well that's his girl: the Arlesienne

These French Cowgirls don't get the blues... Wanna know why?

Because too many Artists have been thinking about them ! Now, we don't know if they all were thinking of the same Arlesienne.

Bizet composed about her.

In 1890, Van Gogh painted her: Madame Ginoux that you can now see at the Kröller-Müller Museum

Alphonse Daudet also wrote about her.

Like most Provencal beauties, you have to look for her if you really want to see her.

She is a myth who only rides Camarguais sidesaddle
