Description from the seller
Rare Vintage Collotype Print after Vincent van Gogh – “Portrait of Lieutenant Milliet”
Offered here is a high-quality antique art print made using the collotype process, after a work by Vincent van Gogh.
Van Gogh is one of the most significant artists in art history, and his portraits from the Arles period are among the key works in his oeuvre. The subject “Lieutenant Milliet” is a striking example of his intense use of color and expressive style.
This print was produced using the historic collotype process, known for its exceptional fidelity to detail and subtle gradations of tone. This technique clearly sets the print apart from ordinary poster reproductions and gives it genuine collectible quality.
Vintage prints of this kind are considerably rarer on the market and are particularly appreciated by collectors who value high-quality printing techniques and older examples.
Its generous size gives the work a strong presence on the wall and makes it ideal as a collector’s item or a striking piece of wall art.
Details
Artist: Vincent van Gogh
Title: Portrait of Lieutenant Milliet
Date of subject: 1888
Type: antique art print
Technique: collotype
Size: approx. 63 × 50 cm
Art movement: Post-Impressionism
Condition: very good, impeccably preserved
Professionally stored; from a collection.
A comparatively rarely offered vintage art print of high quality and with strong collector potential.
Collotype:
Collotype is a historic photographic printing process from the 19th century, valued for its exceptional image quality. It was developed by Alphonse Poitevin and was long regarded as one of the most precise methods for reproducing photographs and works of art. Its defining feature is the use of a light-sensitive gelatin layer, which allows the finest gradations of tone without a visible screen pattern.
It is precisely these seamless transitions and impressive depth of detail that make collotypes so appealing to this day. Unlike prints made using modern processes, the images appear soft, vivid, and almost photographic—a mark of quality appreciated by collectors and art lovers. Collotype is also a demanding craft that requires considerable experience and is now practiced only rarely.
This combination of technical sophistication, limited availability, and art-historical significance makes collotypes highly collectible. They are therefore an interesting and value-retaining category for discerning buyers on the art market.

Seller's Story
We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists.
The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging.
If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
