VAN GOGH (1888) SELF-PORTRAIT WITH A STRAW HAT

      Van Gogh painted at least twenty-four self-portraits in Paris between March 1886 and February 1888, including seven in which he wears a straw hat; this work shows the artist's awareness of Neo-Impressionist technique and color theory.

      Straw hats for men, similar to the one pictured here can be seen at The Village Hat Shop.
