Self-Portrait with curly hair and white collar: Bust
1630
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The painting shows a self-portrait of a man with curly hair and a white collar. He is wearing a dark shirt and has a serious expression on his face. The background of the painting is not visible, but the man's face and upper body are prominently displayed. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's facial features and clothing. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the image. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought.
