Self-Portrait is a 1905 by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a self-portrait of the artist, Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. The artist is depicted from the chest up, facing forward with a neutral expression. He has a prominent nose, a thin mustache, and a beard that extends down to his chest. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to accentuate the artist's features. The artist's attire consists of a dark jacket with a white collar, which adds a touch of contrast to the overall somber tone of the painting. The artist's gaze is directed straight ahead, giving the impression that he is looking directly at the viewer. The painting is held at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
