A hidden self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh, it remained concealed beneath layers of glue and cardboard on the back of ‘Head of a Peasant Woman’. X-ray examinations of the portrait revealed a ghostly glimpse of a bearded sitter, staring intensely at the viewer, 1885. [6000×3754].

Vincent’s self-portrait was likely created during a crucial period in his career, when he became
acquainted with French Impressionism in Paris.
Impressionism had a profound effect on Vincent’s work, inspiring him to adopt a more colourful and expressive style of painting.
