About the piece
Painted in 1900 by Wojciech Weiss, this self-portrait is a prime example of the Young Poland movement's interest in symbolism and psychology. The artist emerges from a deep, shadow-filled interior, holding a variety of masks that suggest themes of identity and theatricality with masterful control of light and shadow.
