GOGH, Vincent van: Portrait of Doctor Gachet

🖼 Portrait of Doctor Gachet, June 1890, Auvers-sur-Oise
Oil on canvas
68 × 57 cm
Paris, France

Melancholy pervades this portrait of a physician rendered in swirling brushstrokes and muted greens, his elbow resting on a table. Van Gogh's final commissioned work captures psychological depth, becoming an icon of artistic vulnerability and the artist's own emotional turmoil during his troubled Auvers period.
