EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Alexander Roslin offers a glimpse into the artist's world during the 18th century. Painted with meticulous detail, the oil on canvas composition showcases Roslin's remarkable skill and his ability to capture his own likeness. In this striking image, Roslin presents himself as a distinguished gentleman of his time. Dressed in an elaborate costume, he exudes confidence and sophistication. The intricate details of his attire, from the ruffled collar to the embroidered waistcoat, speak volumes about the fashion trends prevalent in Scandinavia during that era. Roslin holds a paintbrush in one hand, symbolizing his profession as a painter. This prop serves as a reminder of his artistic prowess and dedication to his craft. His expression is thoughtful yet composed, revealing both introspection and self-assurance. The artist's choice to depict himself wearing a wig adds another layer of intrigue to this portrait. Wigs were commonly worn by individuals of high social status at that time, further emphasizing Roslin's position within society. Displayed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance. It stands as a testament to Roslin's talent as well as an enduring representation of Scandinavian artistry from the 18th century.
