About the piece
Created in 1917, this self-portrait by Danish artist Julius Paulsen is a masterclass in chiaroscuro. The subject emerges from a warm, shadowy background, his features defined by a soft glow that emphasizes the textured oil paint on canvas. Paulsen's loose, impressionistic style gives the piece a timeless, atmospheric quality, making it a sophisticated addition to a gallery wall or study.
