AMERLING, Friedrich von
(b. 1803, Wien, d. 1887, Wien)

Self-Portrait

1834
Oil on canvas, 51 x 42 cm
Residenzgalerie, Salzburg

In this unfinished self-portrait the artist depicted himself in profile from the left and with a serious and attentive look. He dispensed with any attributes of his art, such as brush or easel, and did not adopt an artificial pose, contenting himself with a clearly circumscribed partial view.
