About the piece
This masterfully executed self-portrait by French artist Jacques Stella, dated circa 1640, exemplifies the refined elegance of the Baroque era. Stella presents himself with a dignified expression, his features illuminated by a soft light that contrasts beautifully against the dark, atmospheric background and his scholarly attire.
