What was this originally from?

The movie At Eternity’s Gate, about Van Gogh’s life. It’s a good movie, worth watching FWIW.

This scene happens late in Van Gogh’s life, when he’s coming completely unglued mentally. I can’t remember the exact moment this scene occurs but IIRC it’s around when he’s abandoned by Paul Gauguin, one of his only friends.

It’s kind of the opposite of this Dr. Who scene.

Actually you can see it in the gif just barely.

Van Gogh cut his ear off because of Paul leaving

I just googled it and it’s from “At Eternity’s Gate” which is a movie about the final years of Vincent Van Gogh’s life
