About the piece
This 1858 self-portrait by Henri Fantin-Latour captures the artist in a moment of intense introspection. Employing a dramatic chiaroscuro technique, the work highlights the subtle textures of the face and the crisp white of the collar against an enveloping dark background, characteristic of 19th-century European realism.
