Self-Portrait c. 1855

This bronze sculpture, titled "Self-Portrait," was created by French artist Honoré Daumier in around 1855. Daumier, known for his satirical lithographs and sculptures, captured his likeness in a realistic manner. The work showcases the artist's keen observation of human features and his mastery of portraying emotion, as the self-portrait reveals a contemplative and somewhat melancholic expression. The rough, textured surface of the sculpture adds to the sense of realism and authenticity, reflecting Daumier's artistic style and his powerful understanding of human form.
