EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck, titled "Self Portrait of the Artist with Eyes Closed" was created in 1945 using charcoal on paper. Measuring 33x41 cm, this piece is a testament to the artist's skill and mastery of her craft. In this portrait, Schjerfbeck presents herself as an elderly woman with her eyes closed, capturing a moment of introspection and tranquility. The artist's naturalistic style shines through as she meticulously captures every detail of her face and expression. As one of Schjerfbeck's last self-portraits, this artwork holds great significance. It offers us a glimpse into the mind and emotions of an aging artist reflecting on her life and legacy. The charcoal medium adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its realism. Schjerfbeck's contribution to Finnish art cannot be overstated. Her work often explores themes related to identity, aging, and human emotion. This particular self-portrait exemplifies her ability to convey profound emotions through simple yet powerful imagery. Now housed in a private collection but captured beautifully by Christie's Images for all art enthusiasts to appreciate, this self-portrait serves as a reminder of Schjerfbeck's artistic brilliance and enduring legacy within European art history.
