This painting, originally in the Van Gogh family collection, was once assumed to be a self-portrait. Contemporaries remarked that Van Gogh and Reid were so alike that they could have been taken for twins, and two portraits of Reid were catalogued by De la Faille in 1928 as self-portraits. When the catalogue was published McNeill Reid recognised the ‘self-portrait’ as a portrait of his father, Alexander Reid.
In July 1929, Van Gogh’s nephew, V. W. Van Gogh, sold the Portrait of Alexander Reid to McNeil Reid for £100. It was one of the last works to be sold by the family.
