Dr. Gachet (Man with a Pipe)

Vincent van Gogh

National Gallery of Art

The print shows the upper body of a man in a seated position. His head is slightly tilted to the left as he gazes forward, with one hand holding a pipe up to his mouth. The man's facial features include pronounced wrinkles on his forehead, deep-set eyes, a prominent mustache, and textured hair that is combed back. He is wearing a buttoned jacket over a white shirt. Behind him there are abstract bushes in front of a fence, and the sky is blank.
