Self-portrait 1828

Orest Kiprensky’s "Self-portrait" (1828) is a small-scale, intimate charcoal drawing that captures the artist’s youthful energy and expressiveness. Kiprensky’s signature, detailed brushwork emphasizes the artist’s curly hair and strong features, while his slightly tilted head and subtle smile evoke a sense of self-assuredness. This captivating portrait, rendered in stark black and white, is a testament to the artist's skill and a glimpse into his artistic vision.
