Gallery card:

Orpen studied in Dublin and then at London's Slade School, becoming one of the most successful, and most honored, portrait painters of his generation. Here, in one of his numerous forays into self-portraiture, Orpen (who was known for his wit and humor) depicts himself at work in his Chelsea studio. He looks intently toward the viewer as the nude model stretches and yawns beside him.
