Self-portrait in the Studio
1785 · Oil on canvas
Dimensions 42 × 28 cm
Collection: Art Whisperer
In this remarkable self-portrait that he painted in the early 1790s, Goya is at work on a large upright canvas, presumably a portrait, his eyes turned away from it towards his subject, which contemporary viewers might well have recognized as themselves. Bright sunshine floods from a large window behind the painter, and he wears a curious hat with candle holders on the brim.
