RENOIR, Pierre-Auguste: Self-Portrait

🖼 Self-Portrait, 1899
Oil on canvas
41 × 34 cm
Williamstown, USA

Soft brushwork captures the artist's weathered face bathed in warm, diffused light, his gaze direct and contemplative. Painted late in life, this intimate portrait reveals Renoir's mastery of color and humanity despite advancing arthritis that plagued his final years.
