This self-portrait of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, created in 1870, showcases the artist's intense gaze and brooding expression. The work, executed in a meticulous black and white style, demonstrates Rossetti's mastery of detail, particularly in the rendering of his thick beard and the textured background. This self-portrait is a striking example of Rossetti's aesthetic, which fused Pre-Raphaelite ideals of realism with a Romantic sensibility. It is currently housed at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
