Title: Vincent van Gogh – Man Reading by the Fire – 1928 Portfolio Print
Description:
This 1928 print is a reproduction of 'Man Reading by the Fire', a drawing by Vincent van Gogh created in 1881-1882 during his Dutch period. The image captures a solitary man seated on a simple wooden chair, engrossed in his book while warming himself by the fire. His face is illuminated by the glow of the flames, and the rustic setting, complete with a kettle and burning embers, adds to the intimate atmosphere of the scene.
Executed in charcoal and pencil, Van Gogh’s strong lines and rich shading techniques emphasize the warmth and quiet solitude of the composition. The contrast between the deep blacks of the fireplace and the lighter tones of the man's clothing draws attention to the figure, highlighting the peaceful, contemplative mood. The details of his rough, work-worn clothing and wooden clogs suggest that he is a laborer, resting after a long day’s work.
Van Gogh was deeply influenced by Jean-François Millet and the Realist movement, often portraying working-class individuals in their moments of reflection. This drawing is a powerful example of his ability to capture human dignity and simplicity, foreshadowing the emotional intensity of his later works. The theme of reading, often associated with knowledge and introspection, adds depth to this poignant rural scene.

Matting and Framing Tips:
A neutral or warm-toned mat will enhance the drawing’s rich details, while a simple black or dark wood frame will provide a museum-quality presentation. UV-protective glass is recommended for long-term preservation.
