Original artwork description:

The woman on my painting is enjoying a self portrait by French Impressionist painter Claude Monet. He painted it when he was 46 years of age.

Monet depicts himself wearing a black beret and a grey coat over a white shirt, against a predominantly blue background. His gaze is slightly off centre, not quite meeting the viewer's eye. The left side of his face and forehead is highlighted and there is a distinct twinkle in his eyes, despite the serious expression represented by a slightly furrowed brow.

Materials used:

Acrylic on masonite
