Self-portrait 

This self-portrait by French artist Gustave Loiseau features a detailed rendering of the artist, including his distinctive facial hair and eyeglasses. The painting's muted tones and soft brushstrokes create a sense of intimacy and realism, capturing the artist's likeness in a candid and personal moment. Loiseau, known for his landscapes and seascapes, utilizes a similar palette in this self-portrait, showcasing his artistic mastery across genres. The composition highlights the artist's focus on the subject, as he gazes directly at the viewer, holding a pipe in his hand. The faint wisps of smoke add a touch of dynamism to the otherwise still composition, creating a sense of atmosphere and subtle movement within the work.
