Selvportræt 1836

This self-portrait, created in 1836 by Danish artist J.A. Jerichau, is a striking example of the artist's early style. It features a close-up view of the artist's face, with his dark hair framing his features and a hint of a somber expression. This intimate portrait, now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, reveals Jerichau's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and the details of clothing, as evident in the textured portrayal of the artist's coat and collar.
