Self-Portrait (Edgar Degas, par lui-même)

Edgar Degas

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. The man is slightly turned to the left, looking out at us. He has a beard and a thin mustache and is wearing a dark, wide-brimmed hat. He is dressed in a dark, textured coat. The background is plain beige paper, with a section of dark shadow around the man’s waist.
