About the piece

Painted circa 1888, this self-portrait was dedicated by Paul Gauguin to his friend, the artist Eugène Carrière. The work demonstrates Gauguin's move toward Synthetism, using flat areas of bold color—including a striking lime green background—and strong outlines to convey the artist's intense psychological presence.
