About the piece
Created around 1670, this self-portrait by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo showcases the artist's technical skill through a sophisticated trompe-l'oeil composition. Depicted within a stone oval that rests upon a ledge of painting tools, Murillo presents himself with quiet dignity, rendered in the rich, tonal palette characteristic of the Spanish Golden Age.
