Notes

Catalogues raisonnés:

  • F876: Faille, Jacob Baart de la (1970) [1928] The Works of Vincent van Gogh. His Paintings and Drawings, Amsterdam: J.M. Meulenhoff, no. 876 .
  • JH14 : Jan Hulsker (1980), The Complete Van Gogh, Oxford: Phaidon, no.  14.
  • The attribution to Vincent's grandfather (also named Vincent van Gogh) is by the Van Gogh Museum (letter VGM 169). All major reference works, however, identify if as Vincent's father Theodorus (also "Dorus") after a photograph. The photograph is no longer extant and Hulsker thinks it unlikely it was after a photograph since profiles were not in fashion in portrait photography at that time, and because Vincent saw his father (?) daily in Etten at the time and had no need to work from a photograph.

  • Letter 169 To Theo van Gogh. Etten, between about Friday, 15 and on or about Wednesday, 20 July 1881. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "Prompted by a thing or two you once said, I’ve also tried to draw a couple of portraits after photographs, and hold it to be a good exercise. c.f. n. 4 The other drawing is Vincent van Gogh, the artist’s grandfather (F876 JH14). Hulsker thinks it unlikely that this portrait was made after a photograph. See cat. Amsterdam 1996, pp. 86-89, cat. no. 18."
