Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette
Vincent van GoghJanuary 1886 - February 1886
Van Gogh Museum
Amsterdam, Paesi Bassi
This skeleton with a lit cigarette in its mouth is a juvenile joke. Van Gogh painted it in early 1886, while studying at the art academy in Antwerp. The painting shows that he had a good command of anatomy. Drawing skeletons was a standard exercise at the academy, but painting them was not part of the curriculum. He must have made this painting at some other time, in between or after his lessons.
