Description
Van Gogh’s Portrait of an Old Man, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Nuenen in 1885, this study shows the deeply lined face of an old country man, bearded and grave, emerging from a shadowed ground. One of the many heads Van Gogh painted of the people around him, it holds a whole hard-worked life in its weathered features, modelled with honesty and sympathy in the earthy tones of his Dutch period.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the lined face and dark ground keep the character of the original.
Where a head study belongs
Grave and characterful, it suits a study, a hallway or a considered interior, and works well against neutral or darker 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.
