About the piece
Painted in 1813, this striking self-portrait by Anton Graff captures the artist in his maturity. Famous for the green eyeshade he wore to protect his failing eyesight, the work offers a rare, humanizing glimpse into the life of a court painter. The dark, atmospheric palette and meticulous brushwork embody the transition from late Enlightenment to early Romanticism.
