Self-Portrait in a Group of Friends (1824 or 1827) by Francesco Hayez

Self-Portrait in a Group of Friends is an 1824 or 1827 oil on canvas painting by the Italian artist Francesco Hayez, now in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan.[1]

History[]

The work is mentioned in Prospetto delle incisioni, quadri e oggetti d'arte a un prezzo d'acquisto (1853) as a "picture by Hayez in oils representing five portraits". It was first exhibited to the public in 1883 as part of a monographic show of the artist's work, but then remained in a private collection until 1996, when it was left to its present owner on the death of Riccardo Lampugnani, who had obtained it from his grandfather Giuseppe Gargantini.[2]
