Painted shortly before he permanently settled in Madrid, this self-portrait shows Simonet engaged in painting. Visible in the background is the portrait of his father. The figure of the artist and the portrait are reversed due to the use of a mirror when painting the work. The unfinished lower right corner reveals the artist’s technique.
