About the piece
Painted in 1887 during his pivotal Paris period, this self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh demonstrates his mastery of color theory and rhythmic brushwork. The artist employs short, concentrated dashes of paint to create a vibrating halo effect around the head, a technique that would become a hallmark of his Post-Impressionist style.
