About the piece
Painted in 1885 during his time in Nuenen, this portrait by Vincent van Gogh demonstrates his early mastery of character and light. Using a somber, earth-toned palette, the artist employs bold impasto brushstrokes to define the weathered features and contemplative gaze of his subject.
