Himself 1913

"Himself" (1913) by Robert Henri is a portrait of an older man with a weathered face and intense gaze. Henri was known for his Ashcan School style, which focused on realistic depictions of everyday life and working-class individuals. This painting, currently at the Art Institute of Chicago, embodies this style through its raw portrayal of the subject's age and character. The loose brushstrokes and muted palette further contribute to the painting's gritty realism.
