Self-Portrait with Straw Hat 1887

This 1887 self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh shows the artist wearing a straw hat, a common feature in his self-portraits. The image, painted during his time in Paris, captures van Gogh's distinct style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The textured background, reminiscent of his later work, creates depth and movement, while the expressive brushwork evokes a sense of emotionality. Known for his introspective and intensely personal self-portraits, van Gogh often used these works to explore his own identity and emotions. This particular work is housed at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
