Man with Pipe and Eye Bandage 1882

Vincent van Gogh's "Man with Pipe and Eye Bandage" (1882) is a charcoal drawing that depicts a man with a pipe in his mouth and a bandage over one eye. The drawing captures the unique style of van Gogh with its bold lines and expressive brushstrokes. The subject's somber expression and the simplicity of the composition creates a sense of melancholy, reflecting the artist's own struggles during this period. Now located in the Kröller-Müller Museum, the artwork is a testament to van Gogh's ability to capture the raw emotion and humanity of his subjects.
