About the piece
This compelling self-portrait by Hortense Haudebourt-Lescot, painted circa 1825, captures the artist in a moment of poised contemplation. Wearing an extraordinary dark headpiece and holding a porte-crayon, she is rendered with the luminous skin tones and deep atmospheric shadows characteristic of French Romanticism.
