MONET, Claude: Self-Portrait in Beret

Created in 1886, Monet's self-portrait captures the artist at a pivotal moment in his career, just as he was shifting from his celebrated Water Lilies series toward new artistic territories. The intimate study reveals the Impressionist master in characteristic headwear, offering a rare personal glimpse into the mind of one of painting's most influential figures. This introspective work demonstrates Monet's continued exploration of light and form, even when turning the mirror upon himself.
