About this work
Overview
Self-Portrait in a Hat is a 1901 oil painting by Damazy Kotowski, held at the National Museum in Kraków.
Subject & Meaning
The painting depicts Kotowski wearing a wide-brimmed hat and dark coat with a striped sash, his face partially lit and his expression serious with a hint of a frown, as he holds a pipe in his mouth.
Technique & Style
The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a striking contrast between the subject's face and the dark background. The brushstrokes on Kotowski's skin are rough and textured, giving the impression of thickly applied paint.
