About the piece
Created in 1912, this self-portrait is a superb example of Emile Claus's mastery of Luminism. The artist depicts himself in a wide-brimmed hat, his features rendered with vibrant, broken brushstrokes that perfectly capture the flickering light and atmosphere of the background landscape.
