Self-Portrait

Self-Portrait is a 1913 painting by Georges Kars. This self-portrait, housed in the National Gallery Prague, depicts the artist from the chest up. He is shown with short, dark hair, and his expression is serious and somewhat pensive. He is wearing a light-colored, loosely draped garment that resembles a robe or dressing gown, open at the front to reveal his bare chest. The background is a muted, dark greenish-gray, providing a contrast to the lighter tones of the artist's skin and clothing. The painting style is characterized by broad brushstrokes, creating a somewhat textured and impressionistic effect, rather than a highly detailed rendering. The overall palette is subdued, with earth tones and muted greens dominating. The artwork measures 0.44 meters in width and 0.75 meters in height.
