Self-Portrait 1907

"Self-Portrait" by Harald Giersing, painted in 1907, is a powerful and intimate depiction of the artist. The close-up composition focuses on Giersing's face, painted with bold strokes and a textured surface. The artist's gaze is direct and intense, conveying a sense of introspective self-reflection. The use of earthy tones and a contrasting blue background further emphasizes the subject's presence, making this a compelling example of early 20th-century portraiture. The painting is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
