About the piece
In this sophisticated self-portrait from 1750, French painter Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée depicts himself in a moment of creative pause. He is shown holding a drawing board and chalk, wearing an intricately embroidered floral coat and a characteristic powdered wig of the mid-18th century. The work exemplifies the technical grace and dignified character of European studio portraiture from the period.
