Self-Portrait of Roberts, Print, 19th century

A striking 19th century print featuring a self-portrait of the Scottish artist David Roberts (1796 - 1864), renowned for his detailed topographical studies of the Middle East. The work captures the artist's keen observational eye and the romantic, travel-worn character that defined the spirit of his celebrated career.

Circa 1847, this original period work was produced during the peak of Roberts' influence as a leading figure of British Romanticism.

Ink on paper, presented in its original frame with a simple wooden profile and naturally aged composition embellishments. Rooted in the Romantic tradition, this piece reflects the era's profound fascination with the artist as an explorer and the enduring allure of historical documentation.
