About the piece
Painted in 1886, this self-portrait reveals Edvard Munch's early mastery of psychological depth and his experimental approach to texture. The artist’s gaze is unwavering, emerging from a dark, brooding background with a raw, scraped surface that characterizes his radical early technique and emphasizes the emotional intensity of the subject.
