Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette was painted by Vincent van Gogh in Antwerp in early 1886. The original is an oil painting on canvas in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam. The work shows a skeleton head and upper body against a dark background, with a lit cigarette held between the teeth.
This painting comes from Van Gogh’s Antwerp period, when he studied anatomy and drawing at the art academy. Instead of making a plain academic study, he turned the skeleton into a darkly comic subject. The result feels direct, strange, and memorable. It connects anatomy, mortality, student humor, and Van Gogh’s early search for a stronger personal voice.

Vincent van Gogh (1853 – 1890) was a Dutch artist known for expressive brushwork, strong color, portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and major works from his years in France. This skeleton painting belongs to his earlier development, before the best-known Arles and Saint-Rémy paintings.
Hang your canvas away from strong direct sunlight and high humidity. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth when needed. If the canvas gathers dust, wipe it carefully with a clean, damp cloth.
