Self-Portrait

The subject is Georges Rouget, portrayed as an older man with gray hair, dressed formally in a black coat, white shirt, and gray cravat, set against a solid brown background. The attire and hairstyle align with 19th-century formal portraiture conventions.

Executed in oil paint, the work exhibits a rich, textured quality characteristic of the medium. The overall style is consistent with traditional 19th-century portraiture.

Created in 1854, the painting has been held in the collection of the Palace of Versailles.
