"Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette" is a painting by Vincent van Gogh, completed in 1886. The painting depicts a human skull with a lit cigarette balanced between its teeth, set against a dark background.

Van Gogh's use of bold, contrasting colors and thick, expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy and movement in the painting, while the skull and cigarette give it a sense of macabre humor and existential dread. The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on the transience of life and the inevitability of death, as well as on the social and cultural implications of smoking.

"Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette" is one of several paintings that Van Gogh completed during his time in Paris, where he was exposed to the latest trends in art and culture. The painting is notable for its bold, unconventional subject matter and its provocative style, which challenged traditional notions of beauty and artistic representation.
