About the piece

Painted in Arles in 1888, this intimate portrait captures fellow artist Paul Gauguin in profile during their legendary collaboration. Vincent van Gogh employs his signature thick brushstrokes and a bold color palette, setting the intense red of the sitter's beret against a luminous, earth-toned background to create a work of significant visual presence.
