Self-portrait, 1873

George Peter Alexander Healy

1813–1894 · Realism · 1 work

George Peter Alexander Healy turns the portrait painter’s attention toward himself. His 1873 self-portrait offers an encounter shaped by expression, posture and the surrounding painted space. Look at the choices that make the face prominent, then compare its handling with the clothing and background.
