When Ingres became a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp in 1857, he was required to provide a self-portrait for the academy. He procrastinated for almost a decade before sending the completed work in July 1865. Based on a preparatory sketch for a self-portrait of 1858—now in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence—the Antwerp picture is the last portrait Ingres ever painted.
