Autoportret is a 1875 unspecified by Gheorghe Tattarescu, a Impressionism work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This is a round portrait of a man with a thick gray beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat over a light collar, and his hands rest on the edge of the frame. The background is plain and dark, keeping all the focus on his face. The painting looks like it was done with careful brushstrokes, especially around his beard and forehead. The lighting is soft, making his face stand out against the shadowy background. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
