Autoportret is a 1908 unspecified by Ștefan Luchian, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with dark hair and a serious expression. His face is slightly tilted, and the lighting makes one side of his face brighter than the other. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with a dark tie, and the background is dark and blurry, keeping all focus on him. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on his collar and hair, giving the painting a textured look. This style makes the man’s face stand out even more. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Ștefan Luchian painted quiet scenes of daily life in late-1800s Romania: sunlit houses, country roads, and a single studio work called Atelierul from 1894.
