About the piece
Created in 1888, this self-portrait by Charles Laval reflects the artist's involvement in the Post-Impressionist movement. The composition is uniquely divided by a window frame, contrasting the indoor presence of the artist with a vibrant, painterly landscape. The work bears a personal dedication to his friend Vincent van Gogh, adding a layer of historical intimacy to the bold, expressive brushwork.
