Self-Portrait
<p>Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine was a French artist who was primarily active in Poland. This searing <em>Self-Portrait,</em> made when the artist was 33, suggests the enormous influence of Rembrandt's chiaroscuro drypoints and in particular his <em>Self-Portrait at a Window </em>of 1648 (available for viewing upon appointment in the Art Institute's Department of Prints and Drawings).</p>
