About the piece

Created in 1906, this self-portrait captures Robert Delaunay during his early exploration of color theory and Fauvism. The work is characterized by its daring use of non-naturalistic color to define form and light, resulting in a luminous and emotionally charged image that predates his later shift toward pure abstraction in Orphism.
