Thomas Eakins's Self-portrait (1904) is an oil on canvas that stands out as one of his rare, unadorned self-portraits. Created as a diploma piece for his election as an Associate member of the National Academy of Design in 1902, it reveals Eakins's mastery in Realism. The painting captures a strikingly honest portrayal of the artist himself, emphasizing strength, penetrating intelligence, and a touch of ironic humor through the direct gaze and remarkable eyes.
