"David Self Portrait(1794)", Jacques-Louis David

About the Artwork

Immerse yourself in the enigmatic allure of Jacques-Louis David’s “David Self Portrait (1794)”. This exquisite print captures the essence of the artist, enveloped in rich textures and warm hues. Although David’s face remains obscured in this version, every strand of hair, fold of fabric, and glint of light is rendered with exquisite detail. The dark overcoat with wide chestnut lapels, the white shirt tied with a scarf of the same color—typical of 1790s fashion—speaks of aristocratic grace. Seated on an armchair, David gazes directly at the viewer, a byproduct of using a mirror to create the portrait. His left hand holds a brush, while his right hand wields a palette—an unconventional choice for a right-handed artist. The tumor on his cheek, caused by a fencing injury, adds intrigue, partly obscured by shadow.
