Autoportret Hans Eder is a 1929 by Hans Eder, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with glasses and a serious expression. His hair is dark and receding, and he’s wearing a collared shirt with a tie. The background is blurry, with green and pink brushstrokes that look loose and quick. The painting uses thick, textured brushstrokes—some areas look almost sculpted. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold, tactile style.
