Self-Portrait 1875

William Holman Hunt's "Self-Portrait" (1875) is a striking example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, showcasing the artist's meticulous detail and focus on realism. Hunt, known for his religious and literary subjects, presents himself in a somber yet confident manner, his beard a prominent feature. The artist's tools - a paintbrush and palette - are prominently displayed, suggesting both his profession and his dedication to his craft. The painting's rich colors and dramatic lighting add to its impact, making it a compelling portrait of a prominent Victorian artist. The work is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy.
