Self-Portrait 

This self-portrait by Marie Laurencin, a prominent figure in the early 20th century Parisian art scene, showcases her signature style. The painting is characterized by soft, pastel colors, delicate lines, and a simplified form that evokes a sense of innocence and femininity. Laurencin's self-portraits often feature herself as a young woman with a wistful expression, mirroring the themes of elegance and beauty found in her other works, including her popular portraits of women and children. The painting's gentle palette and simplified forms are indicative of her artistic sensibilities, which leaned towards a more decorative and whimsical approach to portraiture.
