Fotoreproductie van vermoedelijk een zelfportret van Ernest Hébert before 1879

This photograph is a reproduction of a presumed self-portrait of Ernest Hébert, a French painter known for his historical and genre scenes. The image, dated before 1879, captures a close-up view of Hébert's face, highlighting his long beard and intense gaze. The photograph was likely taken by E. Léon, a photographer whose work is less known, but whose contributions to the art of portraiture are evident in this intimate and detailed image. The photograph's small size, measuring 112mm by 91mm, suggests it was intended for personal use or inclusion in an album.
