Self-Portrait 

This self-portrait by William Etty, a prominent English painter of the 19th century, showcases the artist's characteristic use of rich colors and detailed brushstrokes. The work depicts Etty as a young man, his face illuminated by a warm light. His gaze is direct, conveying a sense of confidence and determination, which is characteristic of the Romantic period in which he worked.
