**Brushstroke comparison – Tree Oil vs. Self-Portrait 1889 (Position 3)**
This image compares the sweeping vertical brushstrokes in the Tree Oil Painting with those in Position 3 of Van Gogh’s *Self-Portrait* (1889). The layered pressure, spiral curve, and pigment taper all point toward highly synchronized brush behavior. The strokes appear to follow a nearly mirrored torque rhythm.
