Self-portrait, Jan Havicksz. Steen, c. 1670 oil on canvas, h 73cm × w 62cm.
A distinguished citizen in black clothes, against a backdrop of red draperies and tassels. Jan Steen, who we know mainly as a painter of humorous scenes with simple people, portrayed himself extremely confidently here. His face also appears frequently in his other paintings, but mostly in comic roles.
