Dr. Paul Ferdinand Gachet

Dr. Paul Ferdinand Gachet is known chiefly as the physician who attended Vincent van Gogh in his final weeks, yet he also produced prints of his own. The archive holds a single sheet by him, executed in etching and drypoint, dating from 1890. Its subject, Vincent van Gogh on his Deathbed, ties the print closely to the artist's circle in Auvers. The collection thus preserves one intimate document of that moment in the medium of intaglio printing.
