Self-Portrait (1699) by Adriaen van der Werff #history #art #painting

With brush in one hand and a nearly finished painting in the other, Self-Portrait (1699) by Adriaen van der Werff feels like we’ve caught the artist mid-thought. He’s dressed far too elegantly for studio work—ruffled shirt, rich fabrics—like he’s painting himself as both creator and nobleman. The details in Self-Portrait (1699) are razor-sharp, from the texture of his hair to the soft gleam of the canvas he holds. And what makes Self-Portrait (1699) especially striking is that calm confidence in his gaze—as if he already knew his legacy was sealed.
