About the piece
Painted in 1899, Hans Thoma’s self-portrait blends precise portraiture with the luminous, near-mystical landscape style for which he was renowned. The warm, golden light filtering through the birch forest creates a serene yet powerful presence, reflecting the artist's mature style and his deep connection to nature.
