A mastercopy of a self-portrait of William Adolphe Bouguereau. It was painted with oil on canvas. He's an artist that I admire; I've seen a couple of his original paintings in museums and I've done another mastercopy of his work before (the little girl in the blue dress). Unfortunately, his work wasn't really well known til recently because he happened to be a very academic painter during the time that the Impressionists were developing. So, his work has been often overshadowed by the Impressionists, at least in modern times.
