Portrait of the artist, half-length, wearing a gold embroidered tan frock-coat and white shirt

Bordeaux (written communication, 23 August 1995, on the basis of a transparency) considered this picture to be the self-portrait by Le Moyne that was in La Live de Jully's sale of 1770. La Live was very young when Le Moyne died and, according to Bordeaux, probably made the engraving after the present picture. The engraving was completed by Augustin de Saint-Aubin.

Bordeaux describes the picture thus: 'the acute realism of this self-portrait is remarkable and the beautiful handling of the open shirt matches the mordant and expressive quality of his facial features'.
