Notebook, Self Portrait with Bonito, Frida Kahlo

Self-Portrait with Bonito by Frida Kahlo was painted in 1941. She created this work using oil on canvas, a technique she often used for her detailed and expressive self-portraits.

In this painting, Kahlo portrays herself with her pet dog, Bonito. The work reflects her love for animals and her connection to nature. Like many of her self-portraits, it was made as a personal expression rather than for a specific client. Her inspiration came from her daily life, her pets, and her Mexican identity.

The painting was not commissioned but created for herself. Today, Self-Portrait with Bonito is part of a private collection and is not always on public display.
