Throughout his career Bernard painted self-portraits to mark his development as an artist. This work highlights his association with cloisonnism as well as his interactions with the Pont-Aven School painters. As in the works of Gauguin, for instance, Bernard paints patches of flat, solid, and unnatural colors and separates them with black outlines. Moreover, the absence of accurate perspectives and shadows in the composition demonstrates both the influence of Van Gogh and Japanese woodblock prints.
