Légende

Self-Portrait, 1877. Additional Info: Francesco Paolo Michetti chose to title this drawing 'Scherzo' to reflect the intention behind his self-portrait. To express the idea of a scherzo, a sprightly musical composition or movement, Michetti applied his materials in a quick, gestural manner that conjures up the music's darting, skipping rhythms. The brilliance of Michetti's color, particularly the halo of white around his face, also evokes the scherzo's liveliness.
