Vincent van Gogh represent himself as an lefthanded painter on his three self portraits from 1886, 1888 and 1889 at the easel.

On his self portrait from 1888 he holds his palette in his right hand...use the button as fixed point...on mens clothing the button is always fixed on the right side. He holds his palette in his right hand, so I assume he painted by his left hand.

Kind regards
