No coverage of the Oslo Self-portrait?[edit]

I added this content to another article, Van Gogh self-portrait (1889); should it not also be covered by this article?

The Oslo Self-Portrait (1889)[edit]

The "Oslo self-portrait", (Nasjonalmuseet)

Another self-portrait from the same year, often called the Oslo self-portrait because it is owned by the Nasjonalmuseet in Norway, was authenticated in 2020 by the Van Gogh Museum. This painting, with the artist looking sideways, was painted while the artist was in the asylum in Saint-Rémy and is "unmistakeably" his work. The experts believe it was painted after the artist's letter of 22 August 1889 which indicated that he was still "disturbed" but ready to begin painting again but completed prior to his letter of 20 September 20, 1889. In the latter, VanGogh refered to the self-portrait as "an attempt from when I was ill". [1]

The Museum's report stated that "The Oslo self-portrait depicts someone who is mentally ill; his timid, sideways glance is easily recognisable and is often found in patients suffering from depression and psychosis".[2]
