About the painting
Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat was painted in 1887, during the Paris years. Painted in Paris with the pointillist touches Vincent picked up from Seurat and Signac, then turned on his own face.
The original is held by Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, and its palette runs to slate grey, orange, teal. That palette is what we print from — not a colour-boosted version of it.
What this product is
A embroidered cap printed with a public-domain reproduction. Cotton twill, six-panel, adjustable metal buckle. The image is reduced to a 9 cm embroidered patch on the front panel — reads at a distance, holds detail up close.
It is not an original artwork, not a limited edition, not signed and not numbered. Vincent van Gogh died in 1890, so the painting itself is out of copyright everywhere — which is the only reason a print of it can exist. A print is still a print, and the difference matters when you decide what goes on your wall.
Colour, screen and cloth
Screens emit light; pigment and dyed cotton reflect it. A printed surface always reads denser and less luminous than a backlit display, and textile prints lose a little of the finest brushwork to the weave. If you need to match a specific wall or outfit, ask us for a physical proof before ordering.
