Portret van Coenraat Roepel 1680 - 1748

This self-portrait of Dutch artist Richard van Bleeck depicts the artist at work, holding a brush and a palette, and painting on an easel. The drawing is executed in a very detailed and realistic style, with a focus on the artist's hands and the painting process. The artist's face is illuminated by the light that pours in from the right side of the artwork. The painting is a valuable testament to van Bleeck's artistic skill and offers a glimpse into the life of a 17th-century artist.
