Description from the seller
Ernest Julien Malla (1999) - Self-Portrait - Oil on Canvas - Framed
We present a vibrant and expressive self-portrait by the artist Ernest Julien Malla, dated 1999. This original work is an oil on canvas that captures the image of the artist himself with visceral energy. The subject, a mature man with a gray beard and prominent yellow-framed glasses, looks directly at the viewer. Malla uses bold brushstrokes, of a material and firm stroke, characteristics of modern expressionism with great psychological force. The color palette contrasts the warm ocher tones of the face with an abstract background in textured greens and grays.
The work is presented in a sturdy solid wood frame with deep moldings that elevate the composition. The back of the canvas is profusely documented in the authors handwriting, guaranteeing exceptional authenticity; it includes the handwritten title ("AUTORETRAT"), the format indication "8F", the artist's full name, the date of execution, and a second signature next to the reference number "F 336". The main signature is clearly visible in the lower right corner of the painting.
