About the piece
Created in 1846, this self-portrait by Alexander Heubel captures the artist with a dignified and intense expression. The work is characterized by its rich, dark palette and the elegant contrast between the deep tones of the sitter's cloak and the bright white of his cuffs, typical of mid-19th-century European portraiture.
