Description
Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Japanese Print, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Paris in 1887, this is one of the many self-portraits Van Gogh made in the city as he tried out new colour and technique. He fixes the viewer with a steady, searching gaze, his bearded face and blue jacket built from small, separate touches of fresh colour against a shimmering ground. Intense and experimental, it shows him absorbing Impressionism and Japanese art into his own developing style.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the searching gaze and shimmering colour keep the intensity of the original.
Where a self-portrait belongs
Direct and arresting, it suits a study, a living room or a hallway, and works beautifully 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.
