About the piece
Painted in 1838, this self-portrait by Dutch artist Louis Meijer captures the painter in his studio, holding a small terrier. Beside him sits an easel displaying a dramatic maritime scene, reflecting his specialization in seascapes, while the rich textures of his fur-lined cloak and the golden curtain create a sense of refined Romantic-era sophistication.
