Portrait of Vincent van Gogh 1887

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s 1887 pastel drawing, "Portrait of Vincent van Gogh," captures the Dutch post-Impressionist artist in a moment of contemplation. The portrait, now housed in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, showcases Lautrec’s distinctive style. Van Gogh, depicted in profile, appears with his characteristic beard and a pensive expression, a striking contrast to the vibrant, textured background and the single glass of absinthe on the table. The work exemplifies Lautrec’s ability to capture personality and mood through bold strokes and the use of color.
