About the piece
This 1881 self-portrait by Belgian artist Joseph Stallaert showcases a master at work. The artist depicts himself with a thoughtful expression and a refined handling of light, characteristic of academic realism in the late 19th century. The dark, atmospheric background emphasizes the character and gravitas of the subject.
