Vincent van Gogh used broken brush stroke techniques to create this self-portrait. This method is characteristic of his style, where he applied paint in a way that allows the colors to be seen separately, contributing to the dynamic and expressive quality of his work.
A man is shown in three-quarter view. He is holding a paint palette in his hand.
