About the piece
Painted in 1879, this self-portrait by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler captures the artist in his youth. The work utilizes a powerful chiaroscuro technique, where intense light highlights the features of his face and his crisp white collar against a rich, dark background, creating a sense of psychological depth and intensity characteristic of his early period.
