As much as I enjoy Hermes as this mischievous trickster who will lie Zeus in the face being only four days old and who thinks that the birth of Pan is the most hilarious thing to ever happen to him, I must say that THIS aspect of him is so important to me

Joseph Ducreux (1735–1802) was a French artist known for his expressive and unconventional self-portraits. Unlike many portraitists of his time, who adhered to strict formal conventions, Ducreux infused his works with humor, exaggerated expressions, and an almost modern sense of personality.
