About the piece

Created around 1910, this oil on canvas self-portrait by George Sturm exemplifies the refined academic style of the early 20th century. The artist presents himself in a formal suit and broad-brimmed hat, holding his tools with a steady confidence that marks a life dedicated to craft. The muted, earthy palette and soft lighting create an atmosphere of quiet concentration.
