Description
Self-Portrait by Edgar Degas presents the artist as a young man, his face turned toward the viewer against a deep, subdued background. Light falls across his forehead, cheek, and white collar, bringing his attentive gaze into clear focus.
The gray coat and dark lapels are described with broad, quiet planes of color. A small warm accent at the neck provides relief from the restrained palette. The close framing and direct expression give this Self-Portrait a sense of concentration, with little to distract from the encounter between artist and viewer.
