About this work

This self-portrait features a man in a dark jacket and hat, holding a book in his lap. The background is a light-colored wall with a window, and a table with bottles on it is visible to the left. The man's attire and the setting suggest a quiet, introspective atmosphere. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. For more information on the artist's technique, look up the art movement of Impressionism.
