Self Portrait 1904

This 1904 self-portrait by Russian artist Boris Kustodiev, executed in charcoal and chalk, captures the artist's likeness with a focus on the details of his facial features, particularly his mustache and beard. The work features a muted color palette with the artist's attire, including a bow tie, highlighted in shades of red, adding a touch of color to the otherwise monochrome piece. The portrait captures Kustodiev's thoughtful and contemplative demeanor, reflecting his artistic personality. This intimate self-portrait is a testament to Kustodiev's mastery of drawing and his ability to capture the essence of a subject with subtle yet expressive strokes.
