DescriptionDescription: Richard Bergh painted this self-portrait in his early youth, possibly while studying for Edvard Perséus in the 1870s. Private tuition before applying to the Royal Academy was a common procedure. This selfportrait is a significant acquisition. The Nationalmuseum already has a large number of works by Bergh, representing different phases in his artistic oeuvre, but this is the first work from his youth.
