I'm not familiar with Van Gogh's work, so when I looked up the painting on-line, I was surprised to discover that the figure was actually wearing a hat.

Hi, everybody! Did anybody else notice that the picture of the Doctor on the wall looked at lot like Jon Pertwee?
Note the first of the three thumb nails; this is the painting as seen in the episode: It seems to me that the crew might have lighted the shot so as to make the hat in the painting seem less like a hat and more like Pertwee's white hair. They also left out the black lines defining the hat which appear in the original painting. (The paintings were no doubt not the million dollar originals, but were probably props created for the show).
Compare the prop painting to what the real painting looks like (third thumb nail down), where the hat looks like a hat and not a white blob of paint which could be mistaken for hair.
