# Self-portrait [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEYDEN, Lucas van]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on oak, 29 x22 cm ## Commentary Lucas was reported to have been extremely precocious, a competent painter at fifteen. He spent most of his time in Leyden. He died fairly young and believed himself to have been poised by his rivals whom he avoided by working in bed. There are few paintings, but his output of woodcuts was large enough to suggest that he was a busy though not prolific artist. ## Related artworks - [Abraham and Isaac on Their Way to the Place of Sacrifice]() - [Adam and Eve \(Expulsion from the Paradise\)]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Christ Healing the Blind \(detail\)]() - [Christ Healing the Blind]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Dance of Mary Magdalen]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
