A fortieth self portrait ?
There are many things left to discover about one of the most famous painters in the world.
A young art lover, Jules Petroz, has recently discovered in a flea market a portrait which could be dated from the Parisian period of Van Gogh. If it was a self-portrait, it would be the fortieth. The small painting has character; dark coloured and the gaunt face could correspond to the artist's look when arrived in Paris, he was sheltered by his brother Theo.
He arrived broke from Anvers and physically diminished. Very little is known from this period, most of what we know being based on the brothers's reciprocal letters.
Although it is not technically early Parisian period but Vincent Van Gogh changed so often style during this epoch. After quarrelling with girlfriend Agostina Segatori, (the 'Tambourine' holder, a cabaret in Montmartre where Vincent had hanged most of his latest works), he came back to collect his works; alas! The cabaret had shut down, the lady gone and the paintings sold for a few francs to a junk dealer...
Did some of these paintings survive?
The painting is here reproduced so the reader can make himself an opinion.
And for art sake.

  • Cabaret....... Theo ...

    Cabaret....... Theo would have never allowed for such a place to have kept his brothers work, he was in love with Vincent art, even though he could not make him a single sale. This painting is of a fine art painter...

  • FALSE, BECAUSE .... ...

    FALSE, BECAUSE ....... Vince had his brother who already was established as an Art Dealer and would have never had his brother show his work at a cabaret, especially with Lautrec in the center of it all, Lautrec painted Vincent but that was it! even Lautrec never exhibited at a CABARET!

  • Definately not a ...

    Definately not a Van Gogh, All paintings he did from that period in time, Vincent was still learning. The reason he was in Paris was to hopefully meet the NEW Impressionists he has heard much about and also he was there to meet painters who would tell him if he was good. He never sold a painting and he only gave one away! The story of the cabaret is false.

  • It resembles Van ...

    It resembles Van Gogh, but surely there is no way to tell without an extensive study of the piece by experts. At the time Van Gogh lived, a lot of painters used that kind of canvas, Van Gogh didn't often stretch his own, it could have easily been purchased.

    It's just a painting (maybe from the XIX century) of a moustached man with a hat...Neither the style nor the colors (not even the man portrayed) resembles van Gogh. A hoax, no doubt.

    I agree with Rometschmeister that you need to take it to Amsterdam to the VanGogh museum. I am sure they get a lot of photographs of "lost Van Gogh" paintings. Be persistent until someone looks at it.

    I think you should not touch it when you are pointing to its attributes. Vincent wrote to his brother about the paintings he was working on and described them. I also think you should take it to Amsterdam.
