More about this artwork

The artwork titled "Self-portrait 'en face'" (1897) by Akseli Gallen-Kallela features an evocative and sharply detailed representation of the artist himself. Gallen-Kallela, a pivotal figure in Finnish art, portrays himself with a striking intensity that is often characteristic of his work. In this etching, the artist's face is captured with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting his stern brow, piercing gaze, and the carefully groomed mustache and beard.The deep, thoughtful eyes seem to hold a blend of resolve and introspection, perhaps reflecting the artist's own feelings during that period. His attire, although only partially shown, includes a high-collared shirt and a neatly tied cravat, suggesting a formal presence.This self-portrait not only showcases Gallen-Kallela’s skill in the medium of etching but also gives us a glimpse into the artist’s identity and the era he lived in. The portrait is set against a plain background, which serves to focus all attention on the facial expressions and the textures of his skin and hair, enhancing the overall impact of the artwork.
