Zelfportret van Marinus Jacobus Stucki 1846

This self-portrait, created in 1846 by Swiss artist Marinus Jacobus Stucki, is a fine example of 19th-century portraiture. The artist's signature in the bottom right corner and the simple background emphasize the subject, the artist himself, in a close-up view. Stucki's expression is both pensive and confident, reflecting the artistic personality of the period. This delicate watercolor, measuring 147 mm in height and 119 mm in width, showcases Stucki's skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and form.
