Self Portrait
1877
unspecified
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Self Portrait is a 1877 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a person with a beard and glasses. They’re wearing a high collar that covers part of their neck. The face is turned slightly away, with one ear visible. The brushstrokes are loose and rough, especially on the clothing and background. The painting looks unfinished, with some areas barely sketched in. The lighting is simple, focusing on the face but leaving the rest dark. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro.
