GOGH, Vincent van: Self-Portrait with Straw Hat

🖼 Self-Portrait with Straw Hat, Winter 1887/88, Paris
Oil on canvas
41 × 32 cm

Urgent brushstrokes and swirling texture define this frontal self-portrait, rendered in rich ochres and blues with psychological intensity. Van Gogh captures his own gaze with unflinching directness, establishing the introspective self-examination that would dominate modern portraiture.
