About the work
Museum text in Dutch
In de jaren 1890 verzocht de kunsthandelaar Ambroise Vollard Cézanne enkele litho's te maken, waaronder een zelfportret. Het was zijn bedoeling de toen nog onbekende kunstenaar via dit medium grotere bekendheid te geven. Hoewel Cézanne zich niet aangetrokken voelde tot de grafische technieken voldeed hij aan dit verzoek en gaf zichzelf weer als schilder voor een doek.

Sale of the Jas de Bouffan
At his sister's insistence he sold the deserted Jas de Bouffan estate and moved to a small town apartment at 23 rue Boulegon in Aix; a planned purchase of the Château Noir fell through. He hired a housekeeper, Madame Brémond, who cared for him until his death.
