"Self-Portrait as a Painter," 1888
This is Van Gogh's last painting in Paris before leaving for his date with destiny in Arles. I happened to see it on display in Rome. (I'll weigh in on that later). Can you spend five minutes looking at it?

Thanks for taking the challenge. And one eye is looking at the viewer, while the other one looks at the canvas. Do you think that's deliberate?
