Self-Portrait as a Troubadour is a 1896 oil by Émile Bernard, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum of Western Art.
This painting shows a person in a long blue dress holding a musical instrument. They're standing in front of a red wall with thin white columns. The person's face is blurred, and they have a red headband. To the right, there's another person in a long yellow dress, but their face is also unclear. The background is a mix of red, yellow, and green colors. The painting seems to blend different styles, with the people and setting not clearly defined. It's like the artist was experimenting with how to show things. If you want to see more paintings like this, check out the work of Émile Bernard.
