About the piece
Created in 1833, this masterful self-portrait by Paul Claude-Michel Carpentier captures the artist alongside his family in a moment of poised domesticity. The composition is enriched by the deep, jewel-toned fabrics of the figures' clothing and the intellectual atmosphere of the studio, which is filled with plaster casts and works in progress, reflecting the Neoclassical traditions of the era.
