Lying Cow is the name of two oil paintings created by Vincent van Gogh around 1882 when he was living at The Hague. [2] [3] [4]

Contents

In the 1970 catalogue raisonné , based on Jacob Baart de la Faille's researches, the paintings were dated 1882. [5] Jan Hulsker, however, feels they must be associated with his 1883 painting Cows in the Meadow , a painting known only by a very poor photograph, and accordingly dates them as August 1883, thus executed shortly before van Gogh broke with his mistress Sien Hoornik and left for Drenthe.

Portraits of Vincent van Gogh

The portraits of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) are the self-portraits, portraits of him by other artists, and photographs—one of which is dubious—of the Dutch artist. Van Gogh's dozens of self-portraits were an important part of his œuvre as a painter. Most probably, van Gogh's self-portraits are depicting the face as it appeared in the mirror he used to reproduce his face, i.e. his right side in the image is in reality the left side of his face.
