# Self-Portrait Dedicated to Carrière, in Post-Impressionism

Paul Gauguin painted this in 1888 or 1889, aged about 40. It is now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.

Our note:

> Gauguin portrays himself half-turned, glancing at us sideways with green eyes and one cocked blue eyebrow, his face modelled in bold patches of lime, plum, yellow and blue against a vivid green wall and a window opening onto vegetation.
