Autoportret is a 1942 unspecified by Theodor Pallady, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This is a close-up portrait of an older man with a serious expression. His white hair is slightly wavy, and he has a full mustache and beard. He’s wearing a dark jacket with a light-colored bow tie, and his hands rest on his lap. The brushstrokes are loose and textured, giving the painting a rough, almost sketchy look. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on the man’s face. This painting uses chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with strong light and shadow to shape the face.
