1885, Vincent van Gogh, Still life with a bearded-man jar -- Kroller-Muller Museum (Otterlo)
From the museum label: A few years after the start of his painting career in Mauve's studio, Van Gogh gives lessons to a group of amateurs. Just as he himself had done, they too begin with the still life. He also paints enthusiastically with them: 'Last week I painted still lifes day after day with the people: he writes to Theo in November 1884. Still life with a bearded-man jar is one of the works created during this period. Van Gogh is himself still learning and the teaching invigorates him. His students pay him, 'not in money, though, but by telling them: you must give me tubes of paint. For I want to paint a lot, continually'.
