About the piece
Painted around 1815, this self-portrait captures the young Moritz Daniel Oppenheim at the start of his distinguished career. He presents himself with confidence, holding his palette and brushes while leaning against a table in a studio filled with artistic references, including a sculpture of Venus and a framed study. The work is a masterclass in early 19th-century European portraiture, featuring rich textures and a sophisticated, scholarly atmosphere.
