The artwork titled “Self-Portrait,” crafted by the esteemed artist Francisco Franco, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. Rendered with oil on canvas, the piece is a self-portrait, reflecting the artist’s personal depiction.
The artwork showcases a man dressed in a white military uniform adorned with insignias suggestive of a high-ranking position. The subject gazes directly at the viewer, with a solemn expression and a bald head, holding binoculars in his hands. The background fades into dark and subdued tones, which contrasts sharply with the brightness of the uniform, emphasizing the subject’s presence. The fine details and the careful use of colors in the portrait highlight the artist’s skill and meticulous attention to realism.
