Self-portrait is a 1844 unspecified by Jean-Michel Grobon, a french_romanticism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This portrait features a man with curly hair, wearing a dark coat and a white cravat. He is also wearing a dark hat. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall mood of the painting is somber, which is enhanced by the dark colors used. If you're interested in learning more about this style of portraiture, you might want to explore the technique of chiaroscuro, which is known for its use of strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in paintings.
