Self-Portrait

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts a man's upper body. The man is slightly turned to the left, but he is looking at us. He has high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, a large nose, and arched eyebrows. His short hair is slightly tousled. He is wearing a high-collared shirt, a cravat or necktie, and a heavy jacket. The background is plain, off-white paper, and below the drawing is a line of text.
