iconographic description:
gustave courbet (1819-1877) depicted himself with a pipe in his hand sitting with his black spaniel in front of a landscape near ornans. A book or sketchbook and a walking stick are placed on a rock behind him. The young man seen from a low angle stares at the viewer. Historical commentary:
this work is part of the series of youthful self-portraits by gustave courbet. It earned the painter his first admission to the salon in 1844. The date "1842", unusually written in blue, must certainly have been added by courbet a posteriori. Themes / subjects / places represented:
