Paul Cézanne
The Road Bridge at L’Estaque
From $100
This painting is coat dark, skin warm and grey, and a cheap copy muddies the dark coat. Our Cézanne Self-Portrait with a Hat print was graded from a high-resolution master so his face keeps its life.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
16x20 inch, 24x30 inch, 32x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its tall shape suits a bedroom, a hallway or a narrow wall. The greys and darks look fresh with cream, sage and natural oak, and a black or dark oak frame suits it.
About the painting
Self-Portrait with a Hat by Paul Cézanne
c. 1890–94
Paul Cézanne painted himself in a soft felt hat in the early 1890s. In 1895 the dealer Vollard gave him his first one-man show.
To Japan
In 1920 a Japanese visitor bought the painting in Paris, and in 1921 it was shown in Tokyo.
Tokyo
It belongs to the Artizon Museum in Tokyo, formerly the Bridgestone Museum of Art.
Read the story
A bearded older man in a soft felt hat and a dark coat looks out from the canvas, against a pale patterned wall.
It is Paul Cézanne himself, painted in the early 1890s.
In 1890 he had developed diabetes, and he was growing harder to get on with.
But his work was starting to be noticed. In 1895 the dealer Ambroise Vollard gave him his first one-man show.
The critic Gustave Geffroy called him a great truth fanatic, fiery and naive.
Look at the face. It is built from patches of warm and cool colour, solid and serious. Even the beard is a few strokes of grey and brown.

Look at the soft hat, and then at his eyes.
Self-Portrait with a Hat. Paul Cézanne, about 1890 to 1894.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
