This Van Gogh Self Portrait was painted when he was near to despair at St Rémy, near Arles and was his last self portrait.
The background is more ambiguous than his previous portraits, and seems to suggest a swirling confusion, though the lips are set as if he were holding himself in check.
The may self portraits that Van Gogh did during his brief painting life are a barometer of his moods. In all of them there is an anxious look in the eyes, as if he is worried about the identity of the person who stares back at him from the mirror… Having tried being an art dealer, a preacher and a language teacher, Van Gogh had been financially dependent on his brother throughout his life as a painter.
The fact that Théo was now in trouble with his job and had a sick son must have caused Vincent deep anxiety, which shows in this portrait.
