Self-portrait 1856

Fyodor Bronnikov's 1856 "Self-portrait" captures the artist in a moment of introspection. The artist's gaze is direct and engaging, as if inviting the viewer to connect with his inner world. The somber tones of the painting, particularly the green hues of his hat and coat, create a sense of gravity and depth, reflecting Bronnikov's serious demeanor. This realist self-portrait, a powerful testament to the artist's technical skill, is a valuable insight into the artist's personality and artistic vision.
