About the piece
Created in 1914, this self-portrait by Ferdinand Hodler showcases the artist's mature style, characterized by rhythmic brushwork and psychological depth. The intense, direct gaze of the sitter is framed by delicate rose motifs, rendered with the textured oil technique that defined Hodler's late European Modernist period.
