From the collection of Hamburger Kunsthalle
self-portrait is a 1900 oil by Hugo von Habermann, a Impressionism work, held at Hamburger Kunsthalle.
This painting is a self-portrait of the artist, Hugo von Habermann. He is depicted wearing a long coat and a hat, with his left hand on his hip. The background is a mix of pink and brown colors. The artist's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall mood of the painting is somber and introspective. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look up "chiaroscuro," a method of using strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume in a painting.
Hugo Joseph Anton Freiherr von Habermann (14 June 1849 – 27 February 1929) was a German painter and draftsman. He is sometimes referred to as "the Elder" to distinguish him from his nephew of the same name, who was also a painter.
