# Self-Portrait in a Peaked Cap [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CÉZANNE, Paul]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 53 x 40 cm ## Commentary Self-Portrait in a Peaked Cap c. 1873 Oil on canvas, 53 x 40 cm The Hermitage, St. Petersburg Contemporary accounts describe Cézanne as a passionate, restless, yet reserved character. This self-portrait, however, does not give the impression of restrained passions. On the contrary, the artist endows himself with an emphatically imposing, authoritative, imperturbable look, which can be ascribed both to his search for what was stable in any subject and to an early awareness of the scale of his talent. ## Related artworks - [A Modern Olympia]() - [A Modern Olympia]() - [A Path by the Lake]() - [Afternoon in Naples]() - [Bather]() - [Bathers Beneath a Bridge]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() - [Bathers]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
