Self-portrait with palette - Camille Pissarro
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
An elderly man, dressed in a large dark smock and wearing a black beret, is depicted standing, holding a palette in his left hand. His long, thick white beard frames a weathered face, its features accentuated by round spectacles. He looks directly at the viewer. In the background, we can see a curtain, a partially open window overlooking an urban landscape, and a wall decorated with colourful patterns. Red and white touches on the right suggest the presence of an easel or a painting in progress.
In this self-portrait with a palette, Camille Pissarro shows himself in his working environment, probably his studio. The treatment is quick, with visible, thick brushstrokes, particularly in the areas of the clothing and the background. The palette held by the artist contains several touches of colour, emphasising the painter's gesture in the midst of the creative process. The vertical framing and absence of theatrical staging reinforce the intimacy and simplicity of this representation.
