About the piece
This 1862 self-portrait by William George Richardson Hind captures the artist in a moment of quiet concentration. Rendered in watercolor on cardboard, the work showcases incredible precision, from the fine individual hairs of his beard to the soft felt of his hat and the subtle wood grain of the door behind him. It is a quintessential example of mid-Victorian character study.
