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

There is debate about what his last self-portrait was. Some say that it is the one where he painted himself without his beard in September 1889. The other, which was more famous, was also finished in the same month, and it 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, which features the vivid colors of the famous painting. It has a resin body and snap-on cap, and a chrome section and clip. Its nib is made from stainless steel.
