Self-Portrait is a 1908 unspecified by Unknown, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man holding a wooden palette with paint on it. He’s wearing a dark vest over a light shirt and has a serious look. Behind him, a faint shape of another person is barely visible. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the colors look mixed right on the canvas. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thick so you can almost see the texture. Next, check out technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
