unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Omakuva is an unspecified by Kristian Zahrtmann, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man with a serious expression, bald head, and a short mustache. His face is lit from the side, leaving the left side mostly dark. He wears a dark hat and a striped shirt with a high collar, painted in blues and greens. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on his face and hat, giving it texture. The artist focused on the play of light and shadow to shape his features. Look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
Peder Henrik Kristian Zahrtmann, known as Kristian Zahrtmann, (31 March 1843 – 22 June 1917) was a Danish painter.
