Vincent van Gogh's Self-portrait is a compelling example of his intense self-examination and mastery of Oil painting techniques. Created on a canvas, this artwork reflects his distinctive style rooted in Post-impressionism. Van Gogh’s self-portraits, which include numerous depictions of himself, were vital to his oeuvre, often capturing his face as seen in the mirror—where his right side appears as his left.
