About the piece
Painted around 1792, this early self-portrait captures a teenage J.M.W. Turner before he became the renowned 'painter of light.' The work showcases his developing mastery of texture, from the heavy brass buttons of his green coat to the delicate frills of his cravat, set against a moody, atmospheric background typical of the Romantic era.
