The Art Institute of Chicago's curator Emerson Bowyer (@emersonbowyer) has announced the organisation's acquisition of Antonio d'Este's Self Portrait. The artist was Canova's most important collaborator and disciple, and this particular example is signed and dated 1810. The work had formerly been with Libson & Yarker (click here to read their catalogue note) and the acquisition was made possible due to the generosity of Jonathan and Ute Kagan.
