About the piece
Painted in 1748, this self-portrait by William Keeble showcases the artist in mid-18th-century attire, featuring a rich brown coat and a decorative waistcoat with intricate gold braiding. The work utilizes a feigned oval composition, a popular technique of the era, which draws focus to the sitter's calm expression and the luminous rendering of his features against the dark, atmospheric background.
