About the piece

Painted around 1879, this self-portrait showcases Paul Cézanne's innovative use of color and structural form. The artist depicts himself with a direct gaze and a textured, dark beard, set against a background of mossy greens and deep shadows that highlight his pioneering Post-Impressionist style.
