Young Man in a Landscape (The Guitarrero)
by COURBET, Gustave, Oil on canvas, 55 x 41 cm
Until the Revolution of 1848 only three of Courbet’s pictures had to date been accepted by the Salon, the three self-portraits Self-Portrait with Black Dog, The Guitarrero, and Man with Leather Belt. These had the merit of making the artist as visible as the work.
