Self-portrait 

Alfred Dehodencq's "Self-portrait" is a charcoal drawing that captures the artist's likeness with a focus on detail. The work depicts Dehodencq in a simple, almost austere, setting. The composition is tight, emphasizing the artist's face and the texture of his clothing. His penetrating gaze and subtly rendered facial features convey a sense of quiet intensity and introspection. This intimate drawing provides a glimpse into the artist's personality and artistic practice, offering a window into the world of a 19th-century French artist.
