In July 1869, at the age of 16, he obtained a position with the art dealer, Goupil & Cie in The Hague, through his Uncle "Cent", who had built up a good business which became a branch of the firm. After his training, Goupil transferred him to London in June 1873, where he lodged in Stockwell. This was a happy time for Vincent, he was successful at work, and was already, at the age of 20, earning more than his father. He fell in love with his landlady's daughter, EUGENIE LOYER, but when he finally confessed his feeling to her she rejected him, saying that she was already secretly engaged to a previous lodger. Vincent became increasingly isolated and fervent about religion. His father and uncle despatched him to Paris, where he became resentful at treating art as a commodity and manifested this to the customers. On April 1, 1876, it was agreed that his employment should be terminated.

Someone has half of the answer here. Actually, two women rejected Vincent. The first was Eugenie Loyer in London when he was age 20. The second was Kee Vos-Stricker in Liden in 1881. He lived with an alcoholic prostitute called "Sien" for about a year in 1882-1883. Her real name was Clasina Hoornik. He and an older lady named Margot Begemann wanted to marry, but both his family and hers strongly opposed the match. Margot attempted suicide with poison in 1884. He had short laisons with various prostitutes and cut off his ear to give to one.

Some would say she was no lady. I don't remember her name but do remember that she was a part-time hooker.
