This intriguing and somewhat humorous painting depicts a skeleton casually smoking a cigarette. Created during van Gogh's time as an art student in Antwerp, it is thought to be a study in anatomy, infused with a touch of dark humor. The piece is often interpreted as a commentary on mortality or as a playful, rebellious work by the artist. Its stark contrast and striking composition make it one of van Gogh's most unique creations. The painting is part of the collection at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
