Self-Portrait 1883

This self-portrait by Charles Cottet, created in 1883, depicts the artist in a somber mood. Cottet, known for his Impressionist and Post-Impressionist style, captures himself in a contemplative moment, his face partially obscured by a tall hat. The painting's muted tones and deliberate brushstrokes convey a sense of introspection, characteristic of the artist's later works. The presence of a partially visible painting in the background hints at Cottet's artistic pursuits and adds depth to the composition.
