GOGH, Vincent van: Self-Portrait

🖼 Self-Portrait, 1887, Paris
Oil on canvas
47 × 35 cm
Paris, France

Intense orange-red hair swirls against a cool blue background, rendered in thick, directional brushstrokes that pulse with energy. Van Gogh's unflinching gaze reveals psychological depth; this self-examination became a visual diary of his inner turbulence and revolutionized modern portraiture.
