A bearded self-portrait lit against a deep red-brown ground

Van Gogh looks out from beneath a dark felt hat against a deep red-brown ground. Light falls across the right side of his face, catching pale skin and a reddish-orange beard and mustache, while the left side sinks into shadow. He wears a dark green jacket with a pale blue knotted scarf at the collar. His eyes are narrowed and fixed directly on the viewer.

Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) painted for barely ten years and produced some 2,100 works, most of them in the last two. After early dark canvases of Dutch peasant life he moved to Paris in 1886, absorbed Impressionism and Japanese prints, and in Arles and Saint-Rémy arrived at the thick, directional brushwork and saturated colour that carry his sunflowers, cypresses and night skies. He sold almost nothing in his lifetime. His paintings are held by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Musée d'Orsay and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
