Description: Jan Steen portrayed himself as a self-assured artist, in decorous black, seated against a red curtain and tassel. With this type of self-portrait Steen followed the example of famous artists such as Titian and Rembrandt. The portrait is an exception in his oeuvre. He usually included himself in other paintings, in a comic role.
