Self-Portrait With Beret

Self-portrait by Ramón Acín Aquilué (Huesca, 1888–1936), a painter, sculptor, caricaturist, teacher, and man of many other interests. This self-portrait shows the artist facing forward, with his head covered by a black beret. The facial features are very pronounced and emphasized by the shadow that shapes the face. The figure stands out against a neutral, canvas background that contrasts with the orange and black tones, with a deep, hard, and highly expressive gaze.
