RENOIR, Pierre-Auguste: Self-Portrait

🖼 Self-Portrait, c. 1875
Oil on canvas
39 × 32 cm
Williamstown, USA

Soft brushwork captures the artist's contemplative gaze, rendered in warm ochres and flesh tones with impressionistic delicacy. Renoir's intimate self-examination reflects the movement's focus on light, color, and personal introspection during 1870s Paris.
