About the piece

Painted in 1883, this self-portrait by renowned Spanish artist Ramon Casas demonstrates an early mastery of light and shadow. The subject emerges from a dark, near-void background, illuminated by a focused light that highlights the artist's confident brushwork and the subtle textures of his attire.
