## Image Caption

An 1887 oil on canvas painting, *Self-portrait with Grey Felt Hat*, by [Vincent van Gogh](https://www.worldhistory.org/Vincent_van_Gogh/) (1853-90), the Dutch post-impressionist artist. Painted in September-October and showing the influence of the Pontillists Vincent had met in [Paris](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/paris/). The use of brushstrokes and contrasting but complementary colours (blue and orange) are being experimented with for the first time and will become a dominant feature of his later work.
