The work displays his experimentation with colour theory and the application of paint, influenced by the Parisian avant-garde. Van Gogh employs a technique of short, rhythmic brushstrokes that define the contours of his face and the texture of his clothing. The palette is dominated by muted tones, yet it contains deliberate contrasts between the cool blue of his eyes and the warm, reddish hues of his beard and skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is direct, focusing on the artist's gaze. He wears a grey felt hat, a common accessory for the period, which provides a neutral frame for his features. The background is rendered in a textured, almost stippled manner, typical of his work from 1887. This approach creates a sense of movement across the surface of the canvas. Unlike his later, more turbulent works, this portrait maintains a controlled structure. It offers a clear view into his technical development as he moved away from the darker palettes of his earlier Dutch period toward the brighter, more expressive style he would later refine in the south of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the specific impasto quality of the original oil painting. The layering of pigment is visible in the brushwork, particularly in the jacket and the hat. It is a study of light and form, showing the artist's focus on capturing his own likeness through a systematic application of colour. The work remains a primary example of his self-analytical practice, where he used his own image to test new methods of painting without the expense of hiring models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/self-portrait-edouard-vuillard\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait by Edouard Vuillard\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/self-portrait-edgar-degas\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSelf-Portrait by Edgar Degas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vincent van Gogh","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475213844815,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475226263887,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475226296655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475226329423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475226362191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475226394959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475226427727,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475226460495,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475226493263,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475226526031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475226558799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475226591567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-Portrait-with-Gray-Felt-Hat_Poster_CompositorV1_1794415077697.jpg?v=1794447331","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/self-portrait-with-gray-felt-hat-vincent-van-gogh","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
