Self-Portrait
1920-1923
Édouard Vuillard captures his own aging visage in this intimate, quick sketch from the early 1920s. With just a few loose, scribbled lines, he renders his receding hairline and bushy beard, leaving much of the paper blank to focus entirely on his weary, direct gaze. As a founding member of the Nabis group, Vuillard is better known for his cozy interior scenes, making this raw, unpolished self-portrait a rare glimpse into his personal reflection during his later years. The simple 'EV' initials in the corner serve as a quiet signature to this fleeting moment of self-observation.
