About the piece
Painted in 1885, this intimate self-portrait captures Sabine Lepsius (then Graef) at the start of her career. Holding her palette and brushes, she gazes thoughtfully at the viewer, her figure rendered with confident, painterly brushwork and bathed in a soft, warm light that highlights the rich textures of the oil on canvas support.
