Apart from that, Yves Vasseur also doubted the picture. The Belgian, who studied the issue in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum, participated in an exhibition on Van Gogh in 2015 in the Walloon city of Bergen. He discovered that the photographer Balduin Schwarz had settled in Brussels only four years after taking the picture (where the picture had been taken). Vincent must have been much older than 13 years old.
Theo lived at the same time as Schwarz in Brussels, says Vasseur. "We know from letters that in 1873, at the age of 15, he had his picture taken."
Theo's lighter eyes and softer face fueled suspicion. Zeno Geradts, a special professor of forensic data at the University of Amsterdam, then confirmed the suspicions "with a high degree of probability".
