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.

    Van Gogh is my favorite artist. What a priceless find you have there provided it is an original of course. I wish you the best of luck.

    I did send a picture to the Vincent van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, to Mr Louis van Tilborgh who after examining the photograph answered "that this work cannot be attributed to Vincent van Gogh"!!!

    He did not explain why nor wanted to see the painting.

    thanks for your mail

    That painting looks to me to be a portrait of Paul Gauguin, not Vincent Van Gogh.

    I myself do not think Vincent ever had such a round chin or soft brow line. It appears more as a Franz Hals/Rembrandt era artist after a Velasquez, or a post Velasquez artist after a Dutch master as a more apt reference in my estimation.

    It is a good study whosever it is, and it has an aura of mystery that might make t something you want to keep for yourself. You are free to believe what you want, but you could get in trouble trying to pass this off s something else

    I myself don't think Vincent ever had such dark hair or a rounded chin or soft eye brow line. A Dutch Painter in the Era of Hals or Rembrandt after a SPanish Velasquez perhaps it is, or a post Velasquez Dutch emulator as a more apt description in my estimation. A nice study-whosever it is.

    oke first off all, to determine if a painting is the stile off Vincent is very diffucult,he not allways painted in stripes, so the stile of your painting could be possible, the face : yes it does look like Vincent, (you could make a better video,with a HD camera) oke do i believe that its an original Van Gogh? Yes i believe its very possible.

    go look the right people here in holland, should be not very difficult. good luck
