Oil on canvas
44 × 37,5 cm

Intense gaze and bold brushstrokes render the artist's angular face against a muted background, his grey hat anchoring the composition. Van Gogh's unflinching self-examination became a visual diary of his psychological state, influencing modern portraiture's emotional rawness.
