"In the course of my life I have painted myself many times, always when my state of mind changed. In short, I have written the story of my life." Gustave Courbet said in 1854. This work, which is called "The Despairing One", was created about ten years earlier in his 24th year. It is the time when Courbet had renounced his law studies, for which he had moved to Paris, in order to devote himself entirely to painting. He said himself that he chose a "life as a savage", and "the great independent vagabond life of the bohemian". He spent a lot of time in museums during these years, studying many old masters.
