About the piece
Painted in 1887 during his transformative years in Paris, this self-portrait captures Vincent van Gogh in a yellow straw hat. The work serves as a masterful example of his developed Post-Impressionist style, where the background and subject are unified through a vibrating texture of dashed, directional brushstrokes. The palette of warm yellows and cool blues creates a dynamic yet balanced composition that is both personal and technically brilliant.
