O díle
Edgar Degas was twenty-three when he made his 1857 Self-Portrait, now at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Although he often posed for himself in the 1850s, this was his sole printed self-portrait. Repeated etching of the plate and layers of crossed lines built up the dark areas. For this impression he added lines to his face, hat and coat, then controlled the surrounding tones by carefully wiping the copper. His sharply defined eyes look directly outward. He dedicated the impression to his friend Paul Albert Bartholomé, a painter and sculptor.
Slovy muzea
In the 1850s Degas frequently used himself as a model, but he made only one printed self-portrait. Through successive stages of biting the plate and layers of crosshatching, Degas gradually built areas of dark tone. In this impression, Degas added etched lines on the face, hat, and coat and carefully wiped his copper plate to create atmospheric effects. His clearly drawn eyes directly engage the viewer, resulting in a psychologically powerful and intense portrait of the young artist at age 23. This impression was dedicated to his friend, the painter and sculptor Paul Albert Bartholomé.
