Self Portrait 1851 - 1904

Franz von Lenbach's "Self Portrait" is a striking example of the artist's signature style. Painted in a loose and expressive manner, the work captures the artist in a contemplative mood. The use of dark tones and dramatic lighting creates a sense of depth and intensity. The composition is simple, focusing solely on the artist's face, which is rendered with remarkable detail. The painting showcases Lenbach's mastery of portraiture, particularly his ability to capture the essence of his sitter's personality. "Self Portrait" is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
