Self Portrait with a Grey Felt Hat 1887

Vincent van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with a Grey Felt Hat," painted in 1887, showcases the artist's distinctive style and self-exploration. The painting, now housed in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, captures van Gogh's intense gaze and signature use of bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. His expressive face, framed by a large, wide-brimmed hat, conveys a sense of both vulnerability and strength, reflecting his turbulent inner world. The striking blue background, reminiscent of his later works, adds to the painting's dramatic and emotional intensity.
