Portrait of a Man 1887

"Portrait of a Man" is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh, created in 1887. The painting depicts a man with a thick beard and curly hair, whose intense blue eyes appear to stare directly at the viewer. The subject's somber expression and rough brushstrokes are characteristic of van Gogh's style, capturing the raw emotionality of his subjects. Now housed at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, this portrait exemplifies van Gogh's profound ability to convey human experience with a sense of immediacy and depth.
