Portrait of Stéphane Mallarmé 1891

"Portrait of Stéphane Mallarmé" is an 1891 etching by Paul Gauguin depicting the French poet Stéphane Mallarmé. Gauguin's bold, expressive lines and the use of dark tones and textures create a sense of depth and intensity in the portrait. The image is composed primarily of the subject's head and shoulders, with a dark, swirling background that suggests the complexities of Mallarmé's poetry. This artwork, which resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subject through the medium of printmaking.
