"Self Portrait" is a notable work by the Australian artist Hugh Ramsay, created in 1901. Ramsay, born in 1877 in Glasgow, Scotland, moved to Australia with his family at a young age and later became one of the most promising talents in the Australian art scene of the early 20th century. His self-portrait is a testament to his skill and his ability to convey depth and emotion through his art.

The painting is an oil on canvas and measures 61.2 x 51.2 cm. It is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. In this self-portrait, Ramsay presents himself with a direct and introspective gaze, capturing not only his physical likeness but also a sense of his inner world. The work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, the subtle play of light and shadow, and the rich, yet restrained, color palette.

Ramsay's technique in this self-portrait reflects his academic training and his exposure to European art during his studies in Paris. He was influenced by the Old Masters and the contemporary trends of his time, which is evident in the classical composition and the realistic rendering of his features. The portrait is also notable for its psychological depth, as Ramsay seems to engage the viewer with a contemplative and somewhat melancholic expression, perhaps hinting at his awareness of his own mortality.

Tragically, Hugh Ramsay's career was cut short when he died of tuberculosis in 1906 at the age of 28. Despite his brief life, he left behind a significant body of work that continues to be celebrated for its technical excellence and emotional resonance. "Self Portrait" remains one of his most enduring and poignant works, offering insight into the artist's character and his exceptional talent.
