1825
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Self-portrait is a 1825 by Daniel Maclise, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a man’s face and shoulders in loose, quick lines. His hair is slightly wavy, and he wears a high collar with a cravat tied neatly. The drawing looks unfinished, with smudged shading and faint pencil strokes. The artist used light, sketchy marks to suggest form instead of sharp details. This style was common for quick studies or personal notes. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.

It is part of a collection of 390 drawings and sketches, including works in pencil, pen and ink, and color, housed in a pillar stand of thirty frames. The collection also contains seven drawings by other artists, all Royal Academicians, featuring notable literary and public figures.
