Léon Cogniet's 'The Artist's Room at the Villa Medici in Rome' (1817) is a self-portrait-interior painted by the French painter during his Prix de Rome years. The austere monk-like room, the paintbox, and a canvas in progress compose a precise record of student life at the French Academy in Rome. Oil on canvas, Cleveland Museum of Art.
