About this work

A self-portrait by Peter Nicolai Arbo, dated 1874, shows the artist half-length against a loosely brushed blue ground. He wears a dark cap and black coat with a white collar, and holds a painter's palette at the lower edge of the composition. The inscription in the upper right gives his name, his age, and the place Lutetia Parisiorum, Paris.
