This has been done in many ways, many times. I just ran across this exhibition notice for work by a painter I have heard of, but have had no picture in my mind of his art, Joe Blaustein.

Here's the link re his latest, done in his tenth decade:

Long sort of link, but it works. It brings you to the Visual Art Source website.

Here's one painting -

The accompanying text of his thoughts on his recent work is interesting.

another -

More examples of paintings of old age - by old painters or young ones - welcome.

@edgarblythe,
Rembrandt was one of his own. favorite subjects. This is a self portrait from 1669.
