About the piece
Created in early 1889, this famous self-portrait captures Vincent van Gogh shortly after the crisis in Arles. Dressed for the cold in a heavy coat and fur-lined hat, the artist presents a steady, contemplative gaze despite the prominent bandage. The composition is defined by its intense, bi-color background of red and orange, executed with the rhythmic and textured brushstrokes that are the hallmark of his late period.
