About the piece
In this 1895 self-portrait, Jules Breton presents himself as a mature master of his craft. Known for his paintings of rural life, here Breton captures his own likeness with striking realism, highlighting his focused expression and the tools of his trade. The play of light on his spectacles and silver beard demonstrates his late-career technical virtuosity and painterly confidence.
