Self-Portrait 1899

Alphonse Mucha's "Self-Portrait" from 1899 is a striking oil painting that captures the artist's distinct features. Painted in a realistic style, the work portrays Mucha with a somber expression, his piercing gaze directed at the viewer. The artist's flowing hair and thick beard are meticulously rendered, adding to the sense of realism and intimacy. The work's rich, warm palette and loose brushwork create a sense of depth and texture, further highlighting the artist's individual style. Currently housed in the Mucha Museum in Prague, the painting is a testament to the artist's self-awareness and the power of artistic self-expression.
