Explore the Third version of this artwork, Bedroom in Arles.
In the summer of 1889, Van Gogh  decided to redo some of his "best" compositions in a smaller size (the term he used was réductions) for his mother and his sister Wil; The Bedroom was among the subjects he chose. These réductions, finished late in September 1889, are not exact copies.In The Bedroom, the miniature portrait to the left recalls van Gogh's Peasant of Zundert self-portrait. The one to the right cannot be linked convincingly to any existing painting by van Gogh.
