Self Portrait with Straw Hat - Vincent Van Gogh

This is Vincent van Gogh's Self-Portrait with Straw Hat (1887), an iconic example of the artist's vivid and expressive post-impressionist style. The painting features Van Gogh wearing a bright yellow straw hat, his intense blue-green gaze directed outward, engaging the viewer. The textured brushstrokes, rich with colour and energy, create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow across his face and clothing. The background, filled with soft, radiating strokes of muted colours, enhances the warmth and vibrancy of the portrait, reflecting Van Gogh's evolving artistic technique during his Paris years.
