Self Portrait 1860

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Self Portrait" (1860) is a striking example of the artist's realist style. The painting captures the artist's likeness with a focus on detail, particularly in the subtle shading of his features. Fantin-Latour's serious expression and the dark background contribute to a sense of introspection and perhaps a touch of melancholy. The artist's keen observation of the human form is evident in the naturalism of the portrait, a hallmark of his work.
