When Van Gogh settled in Auvers-sur-Oise in May 1890, Theo asked Dr Paul Gachet to look after him. Gachet was a doctor, a keen amateur painter and a friend to several Impressionists. They soon struck up a good rapport.
Van Gogh portrayed him with his head resting on one hand and his elbow on a red table. He wears a dark blue coat, set against rolling blue hills and sky. A white cap, a wistful expression and a sprig of foxglove in his hand, a plant then used in medicine. Van Gogh wrote that he hoped to capture the heartbroken expression of our time.
He painted two versions, one of which went on to become, for a time, the most expensive painting ever sold at auction. Our poster comes in several sizes and lends a study or library, whether in London or elsewhere in the UK, a strong sense of character.
