Self-Portrait 1750 - 1798

Dionys van Nijmegen's "Self-Portrait" is a small, intimate oil painting that captures the artist's likeness in a simple yet elegant style. The portrait, likely created between 1750 and 1798, features the artist in a close-up, depicting his face and shoulders against a dark, ambiguous background. The soft lighting and muted colors accentuate the artist's realistic features and the detail of his clothing, including his white cravat and long, grey hair. This portrait offers a glimpse into the artist's life and demonstrates his skill in capturing human likeness.
