Portrait of a Peasant

‘(Self) Portrait of a Peasant’, T King, 2020
Oil on Board, 16” x 20”

My study was based on a portrait by Van Gogh, 1888

Conservators at the J. Paul Getty museum in Los Angelis conducted a comprehensive technical examination in order to learn more about van Gogh’s execution of the painting ‘Portait of a peasant’. See ‘the painting from the canvas up

I employed several of van Gogh’s techniques and colour selections in my version of the painting.
