More in my ongoing series of posts about artists’ self-portraits.

I find self-portraits fascinating not just for the range of time periods and styles, but for the interesting variation in the way artists pose themselves.

    Thanks for these Charlie. I can only imagine painting in Madame Roslin’s outfit. Even though she was painting with pastels all that lace would be hard to keep clean. I’ll bet she wore a smock.
