About the piece

Painted in 1890, this celebrated portrait depicts Dr. Paul Gachet, the physician who cared for Vincent van Gogh during his final months in Auvers-sur-Oise. The work is world-renowned for its vibrant use of color—specifically the deep ultramarines and contrasting vermilion tabletop—and for capturing the physician's contemplative, heartbroken expression.
