It features the artist in a fur-lined cap and green coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in Arles in January 1889, this work captures the artist shortly after the well-documented incident involving the mutilation of his left ear. Van Gogh depicts himself in a three-quarter view, wearing a heavy green coat and a blue fur-lined cap. A white bandage covers the side of his head, drawing the eye directly to the site of his injury. His expression is composed, reflecting a period of intense introspection following his hospitalisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background features a wall painted in a pale, acidic green, which contrasts with the darker tones of his clothing. A Japanese woodblock print is visible on the wall behind him, a detail that speaks to the artist's admiration for ukiyo-e aesthetics. This inclusion provides a sense of context for his studio environment and his interest in the flattened perspectives and clear outlines found in Japanese art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of paint is characteristic of Van Gogh's later period. He uses short, rhythmic brushstrokes that follow the contours of his face and clothing, creating a sense of movement across the surface of the canvas. The colour palette is deliberate, balancing the cool blues and greens of his attire against the warmer, flesh-toned hues of his face and the stark white of the bandage. The composition is tight, focusing the viewer's attention on the artist's gaze, which remains steady despite the circumstances of the painting's creation. This work remains a primary example of his ability to translate personal experience into a formal study of colour and form.\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\/field-with-young-trees-in-the-foreground-piet-mondrian\" 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;\"\u003eField with Young Trees in the Foreground - Piet Mondrian — Piet Mondrian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/les-amours-de-pierre-ronsard-les-amours-de-marie-emile-bernard\" 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 Amours de Pierre Ronsard: Les Amours De Marie - 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":58831648620879,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58831655633231,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58831655665999,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58831655698767,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58831655731535,"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_1789916728182.jpg?v=1789917061","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/self-portrait-with-bandaged-ear-vincent-van-gogh-2","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
