Self-Portrait is a 1908 oil by Artur Timóteo da Costa, a Impressionism work, held at Pinacoteca de São Paulo.
The painting depicts a man with short, dark hair and a mustache, wearing a white shirt and a dark jacket. He is holding a palette of paints in his left hand, with several brushes sticking out of it. The background is a mottled brown color. The man's expression is serious, and he seems to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall mood of the painting is somber, with the dark colors and the man's serious expression creating a sense of gravity. The painting is a self-portrait, and the artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. If you want to learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
