Self-portrait is a 1902 oil by Gwen John, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Gallery.
The painting is a self-portrait of a woman with auburn hair, wearing a red plaid blouse with a black collar and a gold brooch. She is facing forward, with her head turned slightly to the right. The background is a muted brown color. The woman's expression is calm and introspective, with a subtle hint of a smile. Her eyes are cast downward, as if lost in thought. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's work, you might want to look up Gwen John.
