He holds open a small sketchbook with a deep blue cover, its white pages fanned, one hand gripping its edge. Behind him cream-painted doors with round brass knobs stand beside a dark panel, and a dim, greenish ornamental shape hangs at upper right. Dark furniture fills the lower part of the sheet. Signed and dated 1907 at right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpilliaert made it in 1907, as one of the series of self-portraits he produced in 1907 and 1908, most of them in watercolour. He shows himself standing upright in a room of his parents' family home. The Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp has held the sheet since 1950, as inventory number 2697.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLéon Spilliaert (1881–1946) was a Belgian Symbolist painter, largely self-taught after leaving the Bruges Academy of Art in 1900. Working from his native Ostend, where chronic insomnia kept him working through the night, he produced watercolours and drawings of empty promenades, dark interiors and solitary figures in strong tonal contrast. From 1902 he worked in Brussels for the publisher Edmond Deman, illustrating Symbolist writers, and in Paris from 1904 he was befriended by the poet Émile Verhaeren. His work is held by the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, and the Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Ostend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
