About the piece
In this 1865 oil painting, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux captures himself in the intimate setting of his studio. The brilliant red of his jacket serves as a powerful focal point against the dark, sketch-like interior, while a pale sculpture in the background alludes to his primary renown as a sculptor. This work exemplifies the expressive, energetic brushwork of late 19th-century French studies.
