About the piece
Painted around 1646, this self-portrait by the Italian master Sassoferrato demonstrates his extraordinary ability to capture human likeness with glassy precision and luminous light. The artist depicts himself with a direct, calm gaze, framed by a crisp white collar that contrasts sharply against a rare and vibrant cerulean background, making it a timeless piece for sophisticated contemporary or traditional spaces.
