Extrait du document
This self-portrait was painted soon after Van Gogh's break with Gauguin and his self-mutilation episode, and shows his gaunt features after leaving the asylum. The hat hides his shaven head and the bandage on his injured ear. Van Gogh, writing just before he left the hospital, appeared quite detached regarding the situation, as the following extracts from his letters demonstrate: 'I shall stay here at the hospital for a few days more, then I think I can count on returning to the house very quietly...'
