Summary

Self-portrait with portrait of Paul Gauguin, dedicated to Vincent van Gogh - "à son copaing [slang for "for his fellow"] Vincent, 1888"


Van Gogh had asked Bernard for a portrait of Gaugin, but Bernard did not feel able to create such (20 years older Gauguin [twice the age of Bernard!] was already famous at this time). Van Gogh however was totally fond of Bernard's painting, for its simplicity, and compared it to "a genuine Manet".

Gauguin painted, to "compensate", a self-portrait "with portrait of Bernard" in same year. Both paintings are held by VGM.
