Walter Gay (1856–1937), Interior of the Artist's Apartment, undated. Across Photoarchive files, researchers can make their own connections among themes of portraiture and emptiness, and artists like Water Gay, Joseph Ducreux, and Goya and his followers. In Interior of the Artist’s Apartment, Ducreux stands in as the identifiable face to Walter Gay’s living room, and the directness of Ducreux’s portrait remains central to both pictures. Working in his own home, Gay sometimes included images of himself and Matilda, adding a more literal expression of portraiture to his work. Half-closed doors, wrinkled sheets, and cluttered arrangements of bibelots speak as much to the unseen occupants as they do to those qualities innate to a space itself. The portrait also complemented Walter Gay’s interior scenes, in which he imbues rooms with moods and personalities.

It is also possible that the Goya-esque quality observed in 1949 references Matilda Gay’s appreciation of the Spanish temperament: in a diary entry, she describes an acquaintance who “looks just like a Goya, and has the fougueux quality of a man of that epoch.” The picture presumably appealed to the Gays’ love of eighteenth-century French art. It is not known when the Gays might have acquired this version of Ducreux’s painting, of which several replicas and copies are known to exist.

Its twenty-first-century fame is due largely to a 2009 internet meme called “Archaic Rap,” in which images of Ducreux’s paintings captioned with slangy one-liners and Britishisms were widely tweeted and shared on Facebook. When Interior of the Artist’s Apartment was exhibited at the Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford, in 1949, five years before it was accessioned by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the portrait was listed as “probably by Goya or one of his followers.” Today, it is recognized as a self-portrait by the French painter Joseph Ducreux (1735–1802). The portrait hangs above a bright blue settee and is surrounded by a cluster of five small landscapes. Prominently featured in this corner of the room is a large portrait of a man, grinning and pointing at the viewer.
