At Eternity's Gate or On the Threshold of Eternity are lithographs by Vincent van Gogh in 1882, and a later oil painting in 1890 in Saint-Rémy de Provence after one of his lithographs.[1] The painting was completed in early May some two months before Van Gogh shot himself.

Van Gogh wrote of his 1882 lithograph:[1]

Today and yesterday I drew two figures of an old man with his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. I did it of Schuitemaker once and always kept the drawing, because I wanted to do it better another time. Perhaps I’ll also do a lithograph of it. What a fine sight an old working man makes, in his patched bombazine suit with his bald head.
