Self Portrait 1890

Paul Gauguin's "Self Portrait" (1890) is a striking example of the artist's expressive style. Rendered in oil on canvas, the work depicts the artist with a melancholic expression, his face emphasized by the use of thick, impasto brushstrokes. The background features muted tones of green and yellow, while a subtle, white bird can be seen on the left, adding an element of symbolism. This intimate self-portrait is a testament to Gauguin's artistic exploration of color and form, showcasing his unique vision and captivating the viewer with its emotional depth.
