About the piece
This 1794 self-portrait by Lié Louis Périn-Salbreux captures the artist in a moment of quiet contemplation. Dressed in the refined fashion of the late 18th century, the subject is rendered with soft lighting that emphasizes the delicate textures of his cravat and the subtle, expressive features of his face.
