About the piece
This 1855 self-portrait by Baltic German painter Julie Hagen-Schwarz showcases her exceptional talent for realistic portraiture. The artist depicts herself with a calm, contemplative expression, utilizing soft light to define the contours of her face against a muted, atmospheric background, all enclosed within a classic painted oval vignette.
