Questions About Old French Portraits
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Many artists have made self-portraits in old age. One famous example is Rembrandt, who painted his Self-Portrait in oils in 1669 at the age of 63. Pablo Picasso also painted himself throughout his life and produced several sketches of himself in 1972, when he was 90 years old. Other examples include Italian Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola, who created a self-portrait in 1620 while in her late 80s, and Peter Paul Rubens, who sketched himself sometime between 1635 and 1640, when he was in his 60s.
