Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette by Vincent van Gogh, 1886. Probably painted as a joke while Van Gogh was studying at the Antwerp academy, where drawing from skeletons was part of the course, this grinning skull with a lit cigarette is laid in with quick, confident strokes against a near-black ground.

Paper & printing
Every print is giclée printed in Chicago with archival pigment inks, on your choice of paper:
Archival Matte: a smooth 230 gsm fine art paper with rich color and fine detail.
Etched Cotton Rag: a heavier 310 gsm cotton rag with a softly etched surface that gives the print depth and a tactile, gallery feel.
Framed or unframed
Framed in your choice of four finishes: Black Oak, Natural Oak, White Oak or Walnut. Our 7/8" moulding is finished with acrylic glazing and an MDF backing, and every framed piece arrives ready to hang.
Prefer to frame it yourself? Choose Unframed (rolled). You get the same print, full bleed or with a white border, shipped rolled in a sturdy corrugated tube.
