FEUERBACH, Anselm: Self-portrait as a boy

🖼 Self-portrait as a boy, 1845
Berlin, Germany

Soft brushwork renders a contemplative young boy in three-quarter view, his gaze distant and melancholic against a muted background. This intimate self-portrait reveals Feuerbach's introspective nature and establishes the psychological depth that would define his later historical and allegorical paintings.
