This self-portrait by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, a prominent figure of the American Aesthetic Movement, was painted between 1870 and 1875. The artist appears with a somber expression, wearing a dark hat, and his gaze is directed towards the viewer. The use of dark tones and loose brushstrokes are characteristics of Whistler's style, which emphasizes mood and atmosphere over realism.
