Original Dimensions: 16 1/16" x 11 1/2"

Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

About Artwork: (1859) "This self-portrait, which La Farge painted in October 1859 at his family's estate in Glen Cove, Long Island, reflects his use of a photograph as a pictorial source; his appreciation of the unmodulated shapes and flattened space of Japanese prints; his reliance on broad tonal masses in the manner of his teachers, Thomas Couture and William Morris Hunt; and his experiments in plein-air landscape painting. The artist portrays himself as a landscapist ready to embark on a painting expedition." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
