About the piece
This 1670 self-portrait by Jan Steen captures the artist with a characteristic look of gentle amusement. Dressed in a dark jacket with a crisp white collar, he is framed by a rich red drapery that opens onto a sun-drenched landscape, showcasing the masterful handling of light and texture typical of the Dutch Golden Age.
