EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait, created in 1724 by the talented artist Bernard III Lens, offers a glimpse into the world of miniature art. Measuring just 12.9x9.8 cm, this delicate gouache on paper print is housed within the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. In this intimate portrayal, Lens presents himself at the age of 42, holding a portrait of a young woman. The artist's half-length figure exudes confidence and skill as he gazes directly at the viewer with an enigmatic expression. His mastery as a miniaturist is evident in every brushstroke, capturing intricate details and textures with remarkable precision. Bernard III Lens was renowned for his expertise in creating small-scale portraits that were highly sought after during his time. This self-portrait serves not only as a testament to his technical prowess but also as an insight into his personal life and artistic identity. The Ashmolean Museum proudly displays this exquisite piece from their collection, allowing visitors to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded of Lens' contribution to the world of painting and how he continues to inspire artists even centuries later.
