473992 Self Portrait (b/c, pencil & w/c on paper) by Richardson, John Isaac (1836-1913); 29.2x40.4 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: John Isaac Richardson painted very few portraits or figure studies. Here, he has chosen to paint a self-portrait. He has concentrated only on his head and shoulders. The background is plain and in a neutral colour, so all attention is focused on the person. It is quite a serious portrait, and the artist\'s expression shows how intensely he is concentrating on capturing his own likeness; ); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; English, out of copyright.
