Self Portrait 

Léon Spilliaert's "Self Portrait" is an evocative portrayal of the artist in his studio, his figure partially obscured by a large easel. The muted palette and atmospheric shadows create a sense of introspection and isolation. The artist's pensive expression and the blurred reflections in the windows suggest a thoughtful engagement with his creative process. The depiction of the studio space, with its clutter of books and furniture, offers a glimpse into Spilliaert's artistic world. Spilliaert, a Belgian artist, is known for his haunting and melancholic style, which influenced later artists like Edvard Munch.
