Self‑Portrait (oil on canvas) by Eugène Jansson, 1910. The Swedish painter Eugène Jansson (1862–1915) depicts himself here as an elegant dandy, surrounded by nude men posing at the naval bathhouse. The muscular, heroic body—shaped by ancient ideals—stood at the center of the turn‑of‑the‑century male aesthetic, an ideal pursued through physical training and sunbathing. The painting is conceived from a distinctly homoerotic perspective, created at a time when sexual acts between men were illegal. This transgressive subculture, though hidden, formed an important undercurrent in the development of the modern city.

'The photograph represents Adrien at about age thirty, when he was attempting to rival his brother. It shows a sensitive and curiously sly man--a poseur in an artist's sketching hat and smock. Disarming in its casualness, the portrait is also seductive, perhaps because the unforthcoming person who regards the viewer is simultaneously withholding and engaging--and consequently an enigmatic repository for reveries.' The Met.
