"Self-Portrait with a Bandaged Ear" | By Vincent Van Gogh

$49.95

Van Gogh painted this after the famous “ear incident” in Arles — but the details remain sketchy. Was it self-inflicted? A spat with Gauguin? Or… a catastrophic attempt to put his cat in a carrier? We’ll never know. What’s clear is that both man and feline walked away scarred, stubborn, and still unwilling to admit whose fault it was.

    • Artist: Vincent van Gogh

    • Year Painted: 1889

    • Location: The Courtauld Gallery, London

    • The Return: Rather than hide, Van Gogh painted himself again immediately — proof that creation was his lifeline.

    • The Background: The Japanese woodblock print behind him reflects his love for ukiyo-e art — simplicity, balance, and beauty in imperfection.

    • Clothing Choice: His heavy green coat and fur hat hint at protection — both literal and emotional armor.

    🐾 Feline Twist: It’s not a portrait of pain, but persistence. The same energy your cat channels after a cone-of-shame moment.

    • Approx. 23”W x 18.5”H

    • Large format, vibrant, high-quality print on durable, semi-rigid thermoplastic.
