About the piece

This 1911 self-portrait by Laurits Tuxen captures the artist in profile, illuminated by a strong light source that emphasizes the rich texture of his silver hair and beard. Associated with the Skagen Painters, Tuxen employs a bold impasto technique here, where thick ridges of paint create a sense of modern, expressive energy within a classical composition.
