Vincent van Gogh · May 1887 · Paris
Seen in profile, the skull dominates an ocher and green background left largely visible; the blue lines which surround the bone and the very thick light highlights give this study from May 1887 an almost sculptural material.
Look at the work
The cranial vault occupies the upper half and tilts towards a narrow jaw. The eye sockets, sutures and teeth are drawn by dark blue lines which remain visible under the light keys.
The bottom of the canvas remains open, covered with long green and ocher brushstrokes. This reserve amplifies the presence of the skull without trying to install a table or realistic decor.
The Van Gogh Museum notice dates the work to May 1887 in Paris and identifies it as s0123V1962, F297 and JH1346. It is an isolated skull in profile, without cigarettes.
Composition, touch and color
The original measures 42.4 × 30.4 cm. The material study published by the museum also explains why many cracks cross the surface.
Van Gogh uses a fine brush loaded with blue to articulate the bones. The profile remains precise while maintaining a colorful vibration.
On the forehead, arch and top of the head, the ivory touches are thick. They contrast with the thinner layers of the bottom.
The pattern covers an earlier composition coated with zinc white. The very slow drying of this layer caused the upper paint to crack.
Documented benchmarks
Museum data allows this study to be identified with certainty and its surface to be understood through technical examination.
Dating places the web during the Parisian stay, more than a year after skeleton studies carried out in Antwerp.
These two catalog numbers, with inventory s0123V1962, designate the profile kept in Amsterdam.
The underlying layer and zinc white explain the visible cracks under and around the skull.
Your reproduction
The copy must contrast the fine blue contours with the cream impasto, keep the ocher background breathable and respect the delicate curve of the jaw.
