私自身——肖像——風景
1890
Henri Rousseau stands proudly in this whimsical self-portrait, dressed in his signature black suit and artist's beret, clutching a palette that boldly signs his name. Behind him floats a dreamlike Parisian dreamscape featuring the brand-new Eiffel Tower, a ship adorned with international flags, and a lonely hot air balloon drifting in the sky. Though he worked as a toll collector and was entirely self-taught, Rousseau painted himself as a master of his craft, earning him the nickname 'Le Douanier' (The Customs Officer). This charming piece captures his unique 'naïve' style, where perspective is playfully ignored in favor of pure, childlike wonder.
