About the piece
Painted in 1669, this late self-portrait by Ferdinand Bol showcases the artist's mastery of the Dutch Golden Age style. Dressed in luxurious garments that reflect his professional success, Bol leans against a pedestal with a sleeping cupid, creating a sophisticated composition of light, shadow, and material richness typical of Rembrandt's most accomplished pupils.
