About the piece
Painted in 1888, this celebrated self-portrait depicts Vincent van Gogh in his studio, holding the tools of his trade. The work is a masterclass in Post-Impressionist technique, showcasing his signature use of intense color—notably the contrast between his deep blue smock and fiery orange beard—and rhythmic, textured brushwork that gives the surface a tactile, energetic quality.
