Self-portrait 1870

Alfred Dehodencq's "Self-portrait" is a striking realist painting that captures the artist's likeness in a direct, almost confrontational manner. Painted in 1870, the work showcases the artist's distinctive style, characterized by meticulous detail and a subtle interplay of light and shadow. Dehodencq's intense gaze and the thoughtful expression on his face suggest the artist's introspective nature, while the dark background emphasizes the subject's presence. The painting is housed at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia.
