Self-portrait
Ion Andreescu, born in 1850 in Bucharest, Romania, produced this Self-portrait about 1882. The work captures the artist in a moment of quiet introspection, presenting a medium shot of the subject from the waist up. He is positioned slightly off-center, wearing a dark, heavy-textured jacket over a white collared shirt. His arms are crossed over his chest, a posture that suggests a sense of guardedness or internal reflection.
