  The man is a father of a beautiful and nice girl. After Van Gogh met Dr. Gachet, he also noticed that his doctor has a adorable daughter. He quickly falls in love with her as the moment he met her. His daughter was shy but also has a sense of feeling for this man. However, not all the love story goes romantically. Since Van Gogh is a great artist, his father was pretty satisfice with it and his snobbishness made him also want a feeling with Van Gogh. He asked Van Gogh to give most of his money to himself so that he could date his daughter. Then, Van Gogh draw a painting for Dr. Gachet. Although he was not willing to do that, he did it anyway for his daughter, the girl he loves the most. Van Gogh’s mental disorder became worse afterward.
