Own a unique interpretation of the painting from a renowned Dutch artist. A modern twist on famous art.
Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat (Dutch: ‘Zelfportret met grijze vilthoed’) is a self-portrait painted by Van Gogh in the winter of 1887–88, when he had been in Paris for almost two years. It is clear from the work that he had studied the technique of the Pointillists and applied it in his own, original way. He placed the short stripes of paint in different directions. Where they follow the outline of his head, they form a kind of halo. The painting is also one of Van Gogh’s boldest colour experiments in Paris. He placed complementary colours alongside one another using long brushstrokes, the colours intensify one another.
