The artist Vincent Van Gogh made several self-portraits as he couldn’t afford models. Through these, one can see the evolution of his style—from the first earthy-toned portrait inspired by French painter Adolphe Monticelli to the two lightly-colored executions evoking his own impressionist style. 

There is debate about his last self-portrait. Some say it is the September 1889 painting in which he didn’t have a beard. Some believe it was another, more famous work finished in the same month, which features Van Gogh (with his fiery beard) in a suit backdropped by swirls of light blue, turquoise, green, and beige. 

The latter inspired the Visconti Van Gogh Self-portrait fountain pen. It has a resin body with a mix of colors inspired by one of the artist’s last works, a snap-on cap, and a chrome section and clip. Its nib is made from stainless steel. 

We have for sale a pre-owned Visconti Van Gogh Self-portrait fountain with an F nib. We’re offering only the pen, no box or papers.
