The artwork, titled “Self-Portrait,” was created by Frantisek Kupka in 1905. Painted using oil on canvas, this artwork is associated with the Impressionism art movement and belongs to the self-portrait genre.
In the artwork, Kupka depicts himself seated, poised with a brush in hand, gazing directly at the viewer with an introspective expression. The background showcases a subdued environment, possibly his studio, with subtle lighting that enhances the detailed rendering of his features and attire. His determined and contemplative demeanor, coupled with the intricacy and finesse of brushwork, captures a moment of artistic reflection and dedication. The earthy tones and meticulous play of light and shadow contribute to the realism and depth of the painting, encapsulating the essence of the artist’s identity and creative spirit.
