"Self-defense" is a painting by American artist George Henry Yewell, created in 1867. Yewell, born in 1830, was a prominent figure in the 19th-century American art scene, known for his detailed and realistic style. The painting exemplifies Yewell's skill in capturing dramatic moments and human emotions, a hallmark of his artistic approach.

The artwork depicts a tense and dynamic scene, where the central figure is engaged in an act of self-defense. The composition is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's eye to the protagonist's determined expression and defensive posture. Yewell's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, creating a sense of immediacy and tension. The background, though less detailed, provides context to the scene, suggesting an environment fraught with danger and conflict.

Yewell's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of textures and materials, from the fabric of the clothing to the sheen of metallic objects. This level of detail not only adds to the realism of the scene but also serves to immerse the viewer in the narrative. The painting reflects the broader themes of personal struggle and resilience, common in Yewell's work, and resonates with the social and cultural issues of the time.

"Self-defense" is part of Yewell's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, genre scenes, and historical subjects. His work is characterized by a blend of academic precision and emotional depth, making him a significant figure in American art history. The painting is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its ability to convey a powerful story through visual means. It remains a notable example of Yewell's contribution to the art world and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
