Description
This Self-Portrait shows a young, dark-haired Renoir looking out with a steady, searching gaze, his pale face built up in thick, luminous strokes against a smoky grey-blue ground. A short reddish beard frames his mouth, a striped blue scarf shows at his throat above a dark jacket. Painted in 1875 and now held by the Clark Art Institute, the picture is a direct, unguarded record of the artist in his mid-thirties.
This museum-quality reproduction is available as a fine-art canvas or paper print, made to order, and suits a study or office wall where that steady, searching gaze can hold its own.
