One of my favorite Self Portraits

Theodore Gericault’s Last Self Portrait as a Dying Man, 1824

Gericault’s riveting self portrait foreshadows his physical disintegration coming through the skin as reddish glow combined with the deathly. It is powerful painting for unlike the typical self portrait where some artists added skulls in the artwork, Gericualt painted death within himself; it is not a separate entity, the process has already begun.
