Crab on its Back (Шаблон:Lang-nl) is an oil painting by Vincent van Gogh. It is a still life of a crab lying on its back with a green background. The Van Gogh Museum dates the work to August–September 1887,[1] while other sources date it to early 1889.[2] The painting is in the permanent collection of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.[1]

The painting is possibly inspired by a Japanese print of a crab by Hokusai that Van Gogh had seen in the magazine Le Japon Artistique, which his brother Theo van Gogh had sent him in September 1888.[1][3]
