About the Item

Alfred Savignol (Pertuis 1877 - Nice 1959) Oil on canvas 55,5 x 42,5 cm (63 x 50 cm avec l’encadrement) = 21.9 × 16.7 in (24.8 × 19.7 in with frame) Signed lower right In this self-portrait from his youth, Alfred Salvignol depicts himself with confidence, wearing a hat and a light-coloured scarf that contrasts with the dark tones of his jacket. His face, solidly modelled and partially submerged in shadow, immediately captures the viewer's gaze. The background, where sculpted figures and sketches can be glimpsed, places the artist in his workspace without attempting to create a true studio portrait. The tight composition and firm brushstrokes emphasise the character's personality: Salvignol asserts his pictorial identity and ambition through a frontal and determined image. This canvas reads less like psychological introspection than a declaration of intent, marking the painter's entry into his career.
