Self-Portrait Without Beard

Van Gogh's Self-Portrait Without a Beard is indeed a famous painting painted in 1889. Interestingly, this painting is one of the most expensive paintings of all time, selling for $71.5 million in 1998 in New York. However, it is important to emphasize that the artistic value of a work does not only depend on its selling price, but also on its historical importance and its contribution to art.
