EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Maurice Quentin de Latour showcases his exceptional talent as a painter during the 18th century. Created in c. 1737, this pastel on greenish-tan laid paper print captures the essence of the artist's skill and creativity. Latour, a renowned French artist, is known for his mastery of color and detail, which is evident in this piece. The self-portrait depicts a confident and contemplative man against a neutral background. The use of pastels adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork, highlighting the artist's ability to capture light and shadow with precision. Latour's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of color contributes to the overall composition.
