Not long after he painted this self-portrait, Durand's dedicated himself to landscape painting on the model of his mentor Thomas Cole. After the untimely death in 1836 of their mutual patron, Luman Reed, Cole urged Durand to visit and commune with nature at Catskill. The following summer they trekked with their wives to the more remote Adirondacks, a turning point for Durand, who abandoned portraiture to focus on American scenery. This canvas demonstrates both his prowess as a portrait painter and his future ambition, for Durand potrayed himself h9olding a portfolio that may signal his already long-formed habit of sketching landscapes.
