Self-Portrait Aged 71

Self-Portrait Aged 71 is an 1862 oil-on-canvas painting by the Italian artist Francesco Hayez.

At this period Hayez emphasised Risorgimento themes and became a symbol of the new unified Italy.

The work is still in its original 19th-century frame, gilded with pure gold leaf.

It is signed and dated "Francesco Hayez Venezia 1862" at bottom left.

It was included in the 1975 Milan exhibition Mostra dei Maestri di Brera: (1776–1859).
