About the piece
Painted in 1863, this self-portrait captures Henri Regnault at the start of his career. Holding a maulstick—a tool used to steady the hand while painting—Regnault presents himself with a direct, confident gaze and masterful control of light and shadow, characteristic of the French Academic style.
