ALT van Gogh's self-protrait from a mid-distance. There is a dark wall behind with the painted clearly illuminated in the centre. An ornate, carved frame with a bronzed lacquer houses the image of a bearded man. The background is dark, blue and cold looking. His jacket and shirt are in similar cool tones but lighter blues and greens, accented with warm red. The face is yellows and oranges, highlighting the strawberry blonde hair and red beard, but there are highlights of cold greeny blue around the eyes. Clearly visible in the painting is a directionality of the brush-strokes, with many of them pointing, or swooping, to the centre where the face sits.
