# Self-Portrait [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GUÉRIN, Paulin-Jean-Baptiste]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 55 x 45 cm ## Commentary This self-portrait is amongst Guérin’s most psychologically penetrating. In its observation of his features, and in their detailed execution, it is a highly sympathetic portrait, at once veracious and explicit, sincere and utterly arresting. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
