Self-Portrait 1901

This self-portrait by Raoul Dufy, created in 1901, shows the artist with a serious expression. Dufy’s characteristic style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors. The use of watercolor creates a sense of lightness and transparency, with washes of color creating soft shadows and highlights on the subject's face. The red curtain behind the artist serves as a dramatic backdrop for the portrait, adding warmth and richness to the composition. The artist’s signature is included on the bottom right of the piece, dated 1901.
