What does the Art Institute Chicago say about this work of art made by Frédéric Bazille? (© Copyright - Art Institute Chicago - Art Institute Chicago)
Frédéric Bazille was in his mid-20s when he executed this startlingly direct self-portrait. Depicted against a dark background with only his palette and brushes to indicate his profession, he looks at the viewer as if caught unawares. The unseen easel and canvas must be located immediately in front of the artist and to our left.
