Self-portrait 1872

This intimate self-portrait by Gustave Moreau, created in 1872, captures the artist's likeness in a close-up view. Executed in sepia tones, the drawing highlights the artist's intense gaze, thick beard, and textured clothing. This work is characteristic of Moreau's style, which often explored themes of mythology and symbolism, and is now housed at the Musée National Gustave Moreau in Paris.
