The artist wears a heavy brown coat and a fur cap, his expression appearing composed yet weary. A white bandage wraps around his head, covering the right ear, which provides a stark contrast to the darker tones of his clothing and the surrounding environment.\n\nThe background features a wall painted in shades of green, with a Japanese print visible on the right side. This inclusion reflects the artist's interest in ukiyo-e, which influenced his approach to colour and composition during his time in the south of France. The smoke from his pipe curls upwards, adding a sense of movement to the otherwise static pose. \n\nVan Gogh employs short, rhythmic brushstrokes throughout the canvas. These marks define the form of his face and the texture of his garments. The palette relies on a balance of muted earth tones and cooler greens, punctuated by the bright white of the bandage. The composition is direct, focusing on the artist's gaze as he looks towards the left, away from the viewer. This work provides a record of a difficult period in the artist's life, captured with the characteristic intensity of his late style. The application of paint is deliberate, with the texture of the canvas visible in areas where the pigment is applied more thinly. The overall effect is one of quiet observation, documenting the artist's physical state and his immediate surroundings with clarity.\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=\"\/products\/the-old-track-to-auvers-paul-cezanne\" 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;\"\u003eThe Old Track to Auvers - Paul Cézanne — Paul Cézanne\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/les-bretonneries-emile-bernard-1\" 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 Bretonneries - 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":58078778884431,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58078785634639,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58078785667407,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58078785700175,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58078785732943,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-Portrait-with-Bandaged-Ear_Poster_CompositorV1_1782696369486.jpg?v=1782697062","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/self-portrait-with-bandaged-ear-vincent-van-gogh-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
