Description

Van Gogh’s Head of a Man, hand-painted in oil

Painted in Nuenen in 1885, this is one of the many head studies Van Gogh made of the country people around him in the run-up to The Potato Eaters. A man’s weathered, bearded face emerges from a dark ground, modelled in deep browns with unflinching honesty. Van Gogh wanted these studies to show real, hard-lived character, sombre, strong and full of feeling.

Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the dark ground and honest face keep the strength of the original.

Where a powerful head study belongs

Grave and characterful, it suits a study, a hallway or a considered interior, and works well against darker or neutral walls.

Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print

Order it as a hand-painted oil for genuine brushwork and impasto relief, finished by an experienced painter and made to order, or as an archival fine-art print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price. Select your size, orientation and framing above; every piece is prepared to your exact specification and inspected before it ships.

The craft

The oil edition of this Van Gogh artwork is painted by hand on canvas. A canvas art print reproduces the image in ink, with the brushmarks visible in the picture rather than raised paint.

  • Oil editions painted individually by studio artists
  • Canvas prints reproduce the image on canvas
  • Individually quality-inspected before it leaves the studio
  • Made to order in your chosen size and presentation

Materials & Care

Materials

The oil reproduction is painted on cotton canvas; the art print is printed on canvas. Rolled canvas arrives without a stretcher. Stretched canvas is mounted on a wooden stretcher frame; thin and thick frames are separate presentation choices.

On request, the studio provides a certificate for your hand-painted reproduction; it certifies the studio's work, not an original by the artist.

Care

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid cleaning products, prolonged direct sunlight and damp conditions.

Sizing

Choose a size and presentation in the options above. Both editions keep the original image proportions.
