Anish Moonka(@anishmoonka):Dr Paul Gachet looked after Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890. At first Vincent wrote that the doctor seemed iller than he was; days later he called him a ready-made friend, like a new brother, and painted his portrait. On Sunday 27 July 1890 Gachet was sent for: Vincent had shot himself. Gachet dressed the wound and stayed. Vincent died early on 29 July, and Gachet drew him on his deathbed; the etching he made of it is in the Rijksmuseum. The full story is in "Where Is Van Gogh's Missing Portrait?".

In 1990, someone paid $82.5 million for this Van Gogh. It has not been seen in public since.
