Self-Portrait with the bull's-eye 1737

This pastel portrait, created in 1737 by Maurice Quentin de La Tour, depicts the artist himself in a casual pose. His cheerful expression and relaxed posture contrast with the traditional formality of self-portraits of the time. La Tour's signature use of pastel creates a soft, luminous effect, giving the painting a gentle and intimate feel. This unique self-portrait, now housed at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Geneva, Switzerland, offers a glimpse into the artist's personality and artistic style.
