A self-portrait of the painter. In
front of a black background, he
stands at this easel holding the
palette and brushes of his
profession.
The sober palette of grays and
blacks and the sketchy neutral
background with its large
brushstrokes recall Francisco de
Goya y Lucientes' (1746-1828)
influence on Domingo.
The Prado Museum has two other
self-portraits by this artist: the
known one (P4489) dating from 1865
and the one included in his work
Inside the Studio of Muñoz Degraín
in Valencia (P4484), from
1867.
The present work was acquired by
Ministerial Order of 27 November
1964 for the Museum of Modern Art.
