Artwork Details
Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear (1889) by Vincent van Gogh is a self-portrait in a blue cap with black fur, a green overcoat, with a bandage covering his ear. The portrait makes it appear his right ear is bandaged, as he used a mirror to paint it. Behind him is an open window, a canvas on an easel, and a Japanese woodblock print of "Geishas in a Landscape" by Satō Torakiyo from the 1870s. Van Gogh had moved to Arles to establish a community of supportive artists, renting four rooms in The Yellow House, and inviting Paul Gauguin. On evening of December 23, 1888, Gauguin threatened to leave and van Gogh accosted him with a razor, later that night slicing off his own left ear. The incident and outfit are featured in Julian Schnabel's 2018 biographical drama At Eternity's Gate starring Willem Dafoe.

Framed Art Prints
We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.
Frames are solid wood, ready to hang with kraft paper backing and hanging wire installed.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.
Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
