My Models – Triptych 1909

"My Models – Triptych" is a 1909 painting by Polish artist Jacek Malczewski. It depicts a self-portrait of the artist, seated outdoors with a palette and brushes. The painting's subdued colors, loose brushstrokes, and expressive use of light evoke the quiet contemplation of a painter at work. The artist's serious demeanor and the relaxed pose suggest the artist's deep connection to his art and the inspiration he finds in nature.
