About the piece
This compelling self-portrait by Finnish artist Ferdinand von Wright depicts the painter in a moment of quiet contemplation, tools of his craft in hand. Dressed in a formal brown jacket accented by a vibrant blue cravat, the artist gazes directly at the viewer against a moody, textured background that emphasizes his presence.
