Some of this self-portrait’s impact comes from what Van Gogh chose to leave out. Much of the background remains bare, with a warm brown base dotted by short blue strokes, like a sudden burst of rain.
The face is carefully rendered: a red beard, piercing blue-green eyes and light falling across the forehead from the left. His jacket breaks into a patchwork of rust, green and blue brushstrokes. Painted in Paris in 1887, the work shows Van Gogh adopting the Neo-Impressionists’ separate strokes, then reshaping them to suit his own more rugged style.
There’s a fresh, sketchbook-like quality that still feels relevant today. It could sit in a home office, hallway or creative space, where the artist’s gaze offers a quiet reminder to stay true to yourself, whether you’re in a city flat or a bach. Choose from several poster sizes. Compare it with his other portraits in our Van Gogh portrait posters, and read how Paris shaped Van Gogh’s use of colour.
