About the Item
Work on canvas - Self-portrait signed and dated 1945
(Annotated on the back: night portrait)
Original frame, Dimension with frame 100 x 80 x 6 cm
This striking self-portrait captivates with its simplicity and depth. The painter depicts himself as an enigmatic man wearing a black hat and draped in a scarf, against an austere background. The subtle shadows and earthy tones reinforce the character's introspective nature, while the hat adds a touch of mystery. The man's steady, serene gaze, emphasized by expert use of light, invites silent contemplation. The framed paintings in the background provide a discreet but revealing glimpse into the subject's environment, enriching the visual narrative. This interplay of light and shadow, combined with a limited color palette, gives the work an almost timeless quality and poignant realism. The artist succeeds in evoking a palpable presence, transforming a simple portrait into a captivating exploration of identity and the soul.
