It adds a first self-portrait to the group of around fifteen paintings and drawings by the artist already in the museum’s collection, and can perhaps be compared with another of his effigies that recently entered the collections, his pastel portrait by Émile Schuffenecker, which was snapped up at the Talabardon & Gautier sale organised by Ader just over a year ago (see news item of 12/7/23).
