The captivating self-portrait by William Etty, titled "Self-Portrait Inscribed VENEZIA in red, Monsieur Etty and 31 Lombard Street/London on the letter that the sitter has open before him" offers a glimpse into the artist's life and travels. Painted in Venice during September of 1823, this piece showcases Etty's mastery of oil painting on paper laid down on wood. In this remarkable artwork, Etty presents himself as both painter and subject. The sitter gazes directly at the viewer with an air of confidence and introspection. His face is illuminated by a soft light, revealing every detail of his features - from his expressive eyes to his neatly trimmed beard. What makes this self-portrait truly intriguing is the inclusion of a letter that lies open before Etty. The letter bears an inscription in red ink: "Depinge in Venezia in questo mezze di settembre 1823/Gugleilmo/address[?]William Etty/31 Lombard Street London". Translated from Italian to English, it reads: "Painted in Venice in this month of September 1823 by Gugleilmo [William] Etty/31 Lombard Street London". This inscription not only provides valuable information about when and where the portrait was created but also hints at the artist's connection between two cities significant to his life and career. It serves as a testament to Etty's artistic journey across borders while maintaining
