Lesser Ury's self-portrait is a compelling work that offers insight into the artist's introspective nature and his mastery of various artistic techniques. Lesser Ury (1861-1931) was a German-Jewish painter and printmaker associated with the Impressionist movement, although his work also exhibits elements of Realism and Symbolism. Born in Birnbaum, Prussia (now Międzychód, Poland), Ury moved to Berlin in 1871, where he would spend much of his life and career. He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and later in Brussels, Paris, and Munich, absorbing diverse influences that would shape his unique style.

Ury's self-portrait is notable for its psychological depth and technical proficiency. The painting captures the artist in a moment of introspection, his gaze directed outward as if contemplating both the viewer and his own inner world. The use of light and shadow in the portrait is particularly striking, highlighting Ury's skill in rendering the subtleties of human expression and the textures of the human face. The background is often subdued, focusing attention on the artist's visage and allowing his personality to emerge more vividly.

The self-portrait serves as a testament to Ury's ability to convey complex emotions through his art. His brushwork varies from delicate and precise in the facial features to more expressive and loose in the surrounding areas, creating a dynamic interplay that adds to the overall impact of the piece. This work not only reflects Ury's technical abilities but also provides a window into his personal and artistic struggles, particularly as a Jewish artist in a time of growing anti-Semitism in Germany.

Throughout his career, Ury was known for his cityscapes, landscapes, and interior scenes, often depicting Berlin's bustling streets and cafes. However, his self-portraits remain some of his most intimate and revealing works, offering a glimpse into the mind of an artist who was both celebrated and marginalized in his lifetime. Lesser Ury's self-portrait stands as a significant contribution to the genre, embodying the introspective and often melancholic spirit that characterizes much of his oeuvre.
