In this miniature, the artist portrayed himself as an allegory of painting. It shows the young artist in full possession of his technical skills, exhibiting the self-confidence of an academically trained painter. This is the only known work from his stay in Italy before he was summoned to France by Louis XIV establishing a long lasting reputation which led the Elector Frederick III of Brandenburg to appoint him as the director of the Berlin Academy in 1696.
