About the piece
Created in 1889, this self-portrait by Belgian artist Godfried Guffens epitomizes the quiet dignity of the European portrait tradition. Dressed in a formal dark coat with his hands clasped, Guffens presents himself with a scholarly and contemplative presence, rendered against a beautifully textured, moody background.
