Executed with delicate pencil strokes on paper, this intimate artwork showcases Musset's exceptional talent as both a writer and an artist. In this self-portrait, Musset presents himself as a dandy - a fashionable and elegant figure of his time. The meticulously drawn details capture his refined features and expressive eyes, revealing the depth of his introspection. With every stroke of the pencil, he skillfully captures not only his physical likeness but also hints at his poetic soul.
