This charcoal self-portrait by Jean-François Millet, created in 1846, depicts the artist with a contemplative gaze and a rugged beard. Known for his depictions of peasant life, Millet's self-portrait showcases his mastery of charcoal, rendering texture and depth with skillful strokes. The artist's intense stare suggests a deep introspection, hinting at his commitment to portraying the realities of rural life. This work, now residing in the Louvre Museum, offers a glimpse into the artist's personal world.
