Autoportret Carol Wallenstein is a 1850 by Carol Wallenstein, depicting Bohemia, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This portrait painting features a man dressed in a large hat and a coat with a white fur collar. He is holding a piece of paper in his hand. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's face and clothing. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it may be from the 18th or 19th century. The use of dark colors and the emphasis on the subject's face and clothing are also characteristic of portrait paintings from this time period. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Carol Wallenstein kept her left hand in her pocket whenever she picked up a pencil, a habit that made her self-portraits feel like stolen glances rather than posed performances.
