Self-portrait wearing a soft cap: full face, head only 1805 - 1844

This self-portrait etching by Ignace-Joseph de Claussin, created between 1805 and 1844, depicts the artist's head and shoulders, clad in a soft cap. The intimate, close-up composition emphasizes the artist's features and expression. The simple, detailed lines capture a sense of realism, typical of the artist's work. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's self-representation and his use of printmaking as a medium for self-exploration.
