István Nagy

István Nagy painted a single oil self-portrait in 1920. The canvas shows the artist in the quiet glow of his studio, the background softened by the muted light of a north-facing window. Simple tools, a wooden palette, a few worn brushes, sit on the ledge, their edges catching the light like the planes of his face.

This lone portrait is all that survives from his hand, offering a private glimpse into his working world. Tap into the muted tones of the Self-portrait to step inside Nagy’s studio corner.
