About the piece
In this self-portrait from the early 19th century, Jacob Munch captures himself with a dignified and direct gaze. Dressed in the formal attire of the period—featuring a high-collared white shirt, ruffled cravat, and a fur-trimmed coat—the work demonstrates the artist's skill in rendering varied textures and human character against a muted, atmospheric background.
