"Self Portrait, Age 15" by John James Masquerier is a notable early work by the British portrait painter, created in 1789. This self-portrait offers a glimpse into the burgeoning talent of Masquerier, who would later become a prominent figure in the art world during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born in Chelsea, London, in 1778, Masquerier was of French descent and was initially trained by his mother, a skilled miniaturist. His early exposure to art and his evident aptitude for drawing and painting set the stage for his future career.

The self-portrait, painted when Masquerier was just 15 years old, is a testament to his precocious skill and keen eye for detail. It captures the youthful artist with a sense of earnestness and introspection, characteristics that would come to define much of his later work. The painting is executed with a level of sophistication and technical proficiency that belies the artist's young age, showcasing his ability to render lifelike textures and subtle expressions.

Masquerier's early promise as an artist was recognized by his contemporaries, and he went on to study at the Royal Academy Schools, where he honed his craft under the tutelage of some of the leading artists of the time. Throughout his career, Masquerier became known for his portraits of notable figures, including politicians, actors, and members of the aristocracy. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the ability to capture the personality and essence of his subjects.

"Self Portrait, Age 15" remains an important piece in Masquerier's oeuvre, offering insight into the early development of an artist who would go on to achieve significant acclaim. The painting not only reflects the technical skill and artistic promise of a young Masquerier but also serves as a historical document, providing a personal glimpse into the life and times of the artist during his formative years.
