## Commentary

Reynolds was his country&#39;s premier portraitist. In this self-portrait the dramatic swath of light, rich colour, and Old Masterly stance are typical of his style. The paper he holds reads &#34;Disegni del Divino Michelagnolo Bon...&#34; \(Drawings by the Divine Michelangelo Buon...\).
