Self-Portrait

Wallerant Vaillant

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person seated in a side profile with their head slightly turned towards the viewer. The individual has long, wavy hair, soft facial features, and a focused expression. They are wearing a loose-fitting shirt with voluminous sleeves and a dark beret or cap. The person leans on the back of a chair, with their left hand visible, draped over its top, and a scarf or ribbon around their neck. The background is indistinct, with shadowy gradations, emphasizing the figure as the main subject.
