Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette, 1886 by Vincent Van Gogh

Meant as a juvenile joke. Van Gogh painted it in early 1886, while studying at the art academy in Antwerp. The painting shows that he had a good command of anatomy. Drawing skeletons was a standard exercise at the academy, but painting them was not part of the curriculum.

It may also be a reflection of his declining health, as he mentions in one of his letter:

"The doctor tells me I absolutely have to keep my strength up...and until I have built it up I am to take it easy with my work. But now I have made things worse by smoking, which I did because one doesn't feel the emptiness of one's stomach then."
