About the piece
This self-portrait by Scottish artist Alexander Ignatius Roche, dating to approximately 1890, showcases the painterly technique and psychological depth characteristic of the Glasgow School era. The work captures the artist in glasses, his steady gaze emerging from a moody, dark background through luminous, textured brushwork.
