Dr. Paul Gachet, a doctor with a passion for art, looked after Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise in the last weeks of his life. Van Gogh painted him leaning on his hand with a sprig of foxglove, a plant used in heart medicine.

He painted two versions in June 1890. The other one sold at auction in 1990 for $82.5 million, then the highest price ever paid for a painting.
