Scholars believe this to be the self‑portrait described by the artist’s son John as follows: “In the winter of 1795 he painted a head of himself, which, though slight, and not entirely finished. . . . shows uncommon power of execution; the likeness also is strong, but there is a certain expression of languor that indicates the approach of disease.” Despite Romney’s failing health, his characteristic bravura brushwork is apparent in the furrowed brow and unkempt white hair.
