What were the story's behind Van Gogh's portrait or wasn't there one?

Van Gogh painted many self portraits. Other artists, such as Rembrandt, also painted many self portraits. This was because an artist had to pay a model to sit for them, and as the profession did not always pay well, they could not often afford models. Thus, artists would paint self portraits for practice. Rembradnt famously painted so many out of a genuine curiosity, almost as a form of self preservation. However, I feel Van Gogh did this due to a lack of funds and to experiment with colour and style.
