Self-Portrait 1898

"Self-Portrait" by James Tissot is a captivating depiction of the artist himself, painted in 1898. Tissot, a renowned French painter known for his social realism, presents himself in a relaxed yet composed manner. He stands in a woodland setting, leaning against a tree, dressed in a hunting attire consisting of a tweed coat, white breeches, and boots. This painting, like many of Tissot's works, reflects his keen observation of everyday life, capturing the essence of the artist's persona and the natural world surrounding him.
