Self-portrait in an armour 

Jacek Malczewski's "Self-portrait in an Armour" is a striking self-portrait depicting the artist in a suit of armor, his face stern, and a determined gaze. The background features a landscape with a sky filled with birds in flight, suggesting a sense of introspection and contemplation. The juxtaposition of the armor, representing strength and protection, with the vulnerability of the artist's expression invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of identity and self-presentation. This self-portrait is considered a significant work in Malczewski's oeuvre and highlights his unique blend of realism and symbolism in his artistic style.
