Painted in Paris while Van Gogh was studying Impressionism and Japanese prints, this Self-Portrait shows his innovative adaptation of pointillist technique. The vivid blues and oranges, the swirling background, and the direct gaze mark this as a crucial transitional work in his evolution toward the intensely personal style of Arles.
