About the piece

Painted in 1908, this self-portrait by Belgian artist Rik Wouters showcases a confident, Post-Impressionist technique. The subject is defined by broad, expressive brushstrokes and a sophisticated palette, where the deep black of the hat and coat contrasts sharply with a vivid green scarf and neutral background.
