There is a similar portrait housed at the Uffizi in Florence, realized some six years earlier than the Antwerp painting. Both paintings reportedly are based on a 1855 photo.[1][2] The paintings are different in many respects, such as the objects depicted therein (hat, state decorations), the sitter's posture, and the lighting. The Antwerp version also differs from the apparently near-identical Fogg Painting (a self-portrait by Ingres realized in 1859, currently housed at the Fogg Art Museum) both in execution and structure; in the Antwerp version the lighting differs, and Ingres' hat produces no shadow.[1] In the Antwerp painting, produced five or six years after the Fogg painting, Ingres made himself look younger.[1]
The 1864 self-portrait was realized for the Academy of Antwerp, upon Ingres' joining of the latter in old age. The portrait shows the painter’s self-regard. Ingres was 84 at the time, but painted a handsomer, younger and slimmer version of himself. The painting is the complacent confirmation of the status Ingres had achieved.[3] Ingres signed the portrait emphatically: J. Ingres peint par lui, pour la Célèbre Academie d’Anvers.
