Van Gogh presented this work to the doctor as a token of gratitude for his care. The composition is notable for its stark contrast between the subject and the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Rey is positioned centrally, rendered with the characteristic thick, rhythmic brushwork associated with Van Gogh's late period. His jacket is painted in deep, saturated blues, applied with vertical strokes that provide a sense of structure. In contrast, the background is a decorative, swirling pattern of green and red, which flattens the pictorial space and pushes the figure forward. The doctor's face is illuminated with yellow and green tones, suggesting the artificial lighting of the interior setting. His expression is calm, reflecting the professional yet personal connection between the artist and his subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Gogh's use of colour here is non-naturalistic, prioritising emotional resonance and decorative effect over literal representation. The red and green background creates a visual tension that complements the bold, dark outlines of the figure. This work remains a significant example of Van Gogh's portraiture, demonstrating his ability to capture the presence of an individual while maintaining his distinct stylistic approach to form and colour. The painting is currently held in the collection of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.\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=\"\/sv\/products\/field-with-young-trees-in-the-foreground-piet-mondrian\" 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;\"\u003eField with Young Trees in the Foreground - Piet Mondrian — Piet Mondrian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/les-amours-de-pierre-ronsard-les-amours-de-marie-emile-bernard\" 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;\"\u003eLes Amours de Pierre Ronsard: Les Amours De Marie - Émile Bernard — Émile Bernard\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":58852501324111,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58852774510927,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58852774543695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58852774576463,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58852774609231,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Dr_Poster_CompositorV1_1790099008198.jpg?v=1790100865","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/portrait-of-dr-felix-rey-vincent-van-gogh-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
