Self-portrait c. 1898

This self-portrait, painted by German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker around 1898, captures the artist's unique style. Her use of thick, impasto brushstrokes creates a textured surface and evokes a sense of depth, highlighting the contours of her face. The subdued color palette and the artist's direct gaze reflect her artistic sensibilities. Modersohn-Becker was known for her honesty in depicting herself and her work often explored themes of motherhood, womanhood, and self-discovery.
