Self Portrait 1522

Jacopo Pontormo's "Self Portrait" from 1522 is a striking red chalk drawing that depicts the artist in a pose that appears to be both confident and vulnerable. The artist's gaze is direct and intense, and the strong lines of his anatomy are evident in the artist's hand. The work is a fine example of Pontormo's style, which was characterized by its expressive lines and fluid forms. The drawing's focus on the artist's physique is reminiscent of Renaissance ideals of human beauty and is a testament to Pontormo's skill as a draftsman.
