Self portrait 

This charcoal drawing, "Self Portrait," is a striking example of the work of Joan Brull, a Spanish artist known for his portraits and landscapes. The artist captures his own likeness in a pensive mood, his face partially obscured by shadow. The sketchy lines and impasto texture add to the sense of intimacy and introspection. A partially drawn laurel wreath surrounding the figure suggests the artist's ambition and artistic pursuit. The work was created between 1863 and 1912, the period of the artist's life.
