About this work
Overview
Carl Peter Goebel's Selbstbildnis is an oil painting created in 1819. It is a portrait of the artist himself, now held at the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
Subject & Meaning
The painting depicts Goebel seated, wearing a dark coat with a fur collar and a white shirt, with a gold chain visible at his chest. His serious expression is framed by curly hair and a mustache.
Technique & Style
The use of chiaroscuro, a strong contrast between light and dark, highlights Goebel's features and creates a sense of depth. Light falls on his face and coat, creating areas of brightness and shadow that define his form.
