Sargent's diploma portrait is similar in conception to another, less finished self-portrait painted in 1886 (Aberdeen Art Gallery and Industrial Museum). In updating his likeness, however, the artist has amended the slender lines of his youthful figure to reflect the slight broadening of maturity. His grey-green eyes also exhibit a different, more probing regard. The portrait appears direct and quickly executed, with a brushy, feathery touch unlike the more forceful and typical stroke for which he is celebrated.
