    Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat (1887)

    Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

    A man in a straw hat stares back, his face rough with brushstrokes. The hat’s brim casts a shadow, but his eyes pierce through—intense, restless. The background swirls with muted greens and blues, as if the air itself trembles around him. There’s no peace here, only a quiet, coiled energy.
