"Self Portrait 2" by Alexandre Cabanel is a notable work by the French painter, known for his academic style and as a leading figure in 19th-century French art. Cabanel was born on September 28, 1823, in Montpellier, France, and gained prominence for his historical and mythological paintings, as well as his portraits. He was a celebrated artist of his time, receiving numerous awards and honors, including the Prix de Rome in 1845 and later becoming a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Cabanel's self-portraits are significant as they offer insight into the artist's self-perception and his position within the art world.
