《自画像》轴，清，任熊绘，纸本，设色，纵177.4cm，横78.5cm。

　　画幅左侧行书自题《十二时》，款署：“渭长任熊倚声。”钤“任熊之印”白文印、“湘浦画”朱文印。

　　本幅无年款，从画像上分析任熊应正值三十余岁的壮年。此时正是社会大动荡时期，面对清王朝的日益腐败、太平天国运动的兴衰以及列强的入侵，画家在自画像中面露沉思状。其袒露右肩、不修边幅的装束，俨然一位绿林好汉之相貌，无一点正襟危坐或优游林下的文人画像格调。此图如银勾铁画般的衣纹线条不仅与主人公坚毅勇猛的形象相吻合，而且烘托出其内在的阳刚之气，增强了画作的感染力。

 

--------Introduction in English--------

 

"Self-portrait" axis, Qing Dynasty, Ren Xiong Painting, paper, color, 177.4 cm vertical, 78.5 cm horizontal.

On the left side of the picture, the line book titled "Twelve Hours", which reads: "Weichang Ren Xiong Yisheng." Jun's "Ren Xiong Zhi Yin" and "Xiangpu Painting" Zhu Wen Yin.

In this picture, there is no age. From the analysis of the portrait, Ren Xiong is in his thirties. At this time, in the period of great social turbulence, facing the increasing corruption of the Qing Dynasty, the rise and fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement and the invasion of foreign powers, the painter appeared meditative in his self-portrait. His uncorrected right shoulder dress resembles the appearance of a good man in the green forest, without any literati portrait style of sitting in a straightforward position or traveling in the woods. This picture is not only consistent with the hero's perseverance and bravery, but also reflects his inner masculinity and enhances the appeal of the painting.
