Description

Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat (obverse: The Potato Peeler)
1887
Vincent van Gogh Dutch

Van Gogh produced more than twenty self-portraits during his Parisian sojourn (1886–88). Short of funds but determined nevertheless to hone his skills as a figure painter, he became his own best sitter: "I purposely bought a good enough mirror to work from myself, for want of a model." This picture, which shows the artist’s awareness of Neo-Impressionist technique and color theory, is one of several that are painted on the reverse of an earlier peasant study.

Make a statement in any room with this framed poster, printed on thick, durable, matte paper. The matte black frame that’s made from wood from renewable forests adds an extra touch of class.

Image is a reprint of the original authorized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Print is not matted on foam core matting, but rather digitally printed with a white inside border.
