Autoportret la 30 de ani is a 1874 unspecified by Constantin Daniel Stahi, a Impressionism work, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a man with a thick beard and dark hair, dressed in a black suit with a white collar. His expression is serious, and the background is plain and dark. The brushstrokes are soft but visible, especially on his face and neck. The artist signed it in the corner—you can just make out the name. The lighting focuses on his face, making his skin glow while keeping the rest of the painting shadowy. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
