Self-Portrait

Vincent van Gogh's Self-Portrait (1887) created during his Paris period, exemplifies his exploration of color and brushwork that characterizes Post-impressionism. In this work, van Gogh uses vivid hues and dynamic strokes to capture his likeness as reflected in a mirror, often showing the reverse side of his face. This self-portrait not only demonstrates his evolving artistic style but also reveals his introspective nature. It remains a significant piece within his extensive series of self-portraits, serving as both a personal study and a hallmark of his creative identity.
