Autoportrait 1912

"Autoportrait" is a 1912 self-portrait by French artist Émilie Charmy (1878-1974). The painting depicts Charmy in a close-up view, her face slightly turned towards the viewer, and her gaze directed downwards. She is dressed in a dark garment with a white, polka-dotted collar. The background is a muted green, providing a simple yet effective contrast to her figure. The brushstrokes are visible and create a textured surface, contributing to the painting's overall sense of realism and intimacy. This self-portrait, rendered in a style reminiscent of Impressionism, offers a glimpse into the artist's personal expression and artistic sensibilities.
