Autoportrait De Zeger Jacob Ven Helmont
A self-portrait is a representation of an artist that is drawn, painted, photographed, or sculpted by that artist.

He painted a separate portrait of his wife, and he belonged to the social group that had begun to commission portraits, already more common among wealthy Netherlanders than south of the Alps.
