Autoritratto
Ernst Lafite stares right at you in this intense self-portrait, sporting a magnificent mustache and the kind of dramatic dark cravat that screams '19th-century artist.' The background is a moody mix of reddish-browns and blacks, which acts like a spotlight on his pale face and serious expression. Painted with visible, textured brushstrokes, it feels like a candid snapshot of a man deep in thought, perhaps wondering if he got the likeness of his own nose just right.
