"Self-Portrait with a Japanese Print" by Vincent van Gogh exemplifies his prolific self-portrait work, capturing his intense emotional state through expressive Post-impressionism techniques. Painted in oil on canvas, the portrait reveals van Gogh's face reflected in a mirror—likely the right side, which corresponds to his left—highlighting his focus on self-examination.
