Self Portraits from 1875 and 1899
RENOIR, Pierre Auguste
Oil on canvas

These are kind of breathtaking right next to each other - the sheer difference in the texture of the paint is incredible, though it’s hard to tell how raised and rough the surface is on the first (make sure you click to get a better idea). (Renoir intended to throw the first portrait in the trash, but a friend persuaded him not to.)
