Autoportret is a 1929 unspecified by Petre Iorgulescu-Yor, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This is a close-up portrait of a man wearing a dark hat, a light scarf, and a dark jacket. His face is pale with a serious expression, and the brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially around his neck and collar. The background is mostly dark and blurry, making the face stand out. The painting looks unfinished in spots, with visible strokes of paint that give it a raw, textured feel. The lighting focuses on the face, leaving shadows around the edges. This style reminds you of the impasto technique.
Petre Iorgulescu-Yor (24 December 1890, Râmnicu Sărat – 29 April 1939, Bucharest) was a Romanian Expressionist painter of Jewish and Greek ancestry.
