Autoportret is a 1920 by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This is a rough, close-up portrait of an older man with a pipe. The paint is thick and uneven, especially on his face and hands. Dark blues and grays fill the background, making his skin tones stand out. The brushstrokes are loose, almost like the artist worked fast. The man’s expression is serious, with a slight frown. This style looks like *impasto*—where paint is laid on thick.
Gheorghe Petrașcu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 20 November 1872, Tecuci – 1 May 1949, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter.
