About the piece
Painted in 1901 by Hugh Ramsay, this self-portrait is a masterclass in light and texture. The work centers on the brilliant white of the artist's jacket, rendered with confident, thick brushstrokes that stand in stark, dramatic contrast against the deep shadows of the background. It captures a moment of poised artistic identity at the turn of the century.
