Self-Portrait by Jean Baptiste Chardin

The best portrait of Chardin. The artist portrayed himself without ceremony: in a nightcap with a blue visor, in a brown house jacket and a neck scarf, with a pince-nez crawling to his nose.

And the stronger, in contrast to the shabby appearance, the piercing young look of old eyes over the pince-nez acts on the viewer. This is the look of the artist, who reached the purity, strength and freedom of his art for old age.
