Self Portrait 1883

Jules Breton's "Self Portrait" (1883) is a realistic portrayal of the artist, a prominent figure in the French Realist movement. The painting captures Breton with a serious expression, his beard and mustache framing his face. His gaze is direct, conveying a sense of introspection. The muted colors and loose brushstrokes create a sense of depth and realism, typical of Breton's style, which focused on depicting the lives of ordinary people.
