Self-Portrait

Henri Fantin-Latour, 1861

This painting is a close-up portrait of a man's head and shoulders. He has pale skin and light, slightly disheveled brown hair with a strong widow's peak, and a short brown beard. His head is tilted downward, and he looks out at us from deep-set eyes under a furrowed brow. His mouth appears slightly open. He is wearing a dark suit with a high-collared white shirt visible at the neck. The background is a muted light gray color painted with visible, thick brushstrokes.
